Hi

I am using django 1.5 and created my own user model by AUTH_USER_MODEL= 'account.User' in settings.

my user model is like this:

from django.db import models

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, UserManager, PermissionsMixin

# Create your models here.

GENDER = (

    ('M', 'Male'),

    ('F', 'Female')

)

class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):

    username = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)

    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    email = models.EmailField(unique=True)

    gender = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=GENDER)

    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    

    objects = UserManager()

    

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'

    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username']

    

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.get_full_name()

    

    

    def get_full_name(self):

        return ' '.join([self.first_name, self.last_name]) or self.username

    

    def get_short_name(self):

        return self.first_name or self.username.

The form which i present to user for signup is:

class SignupForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:

        model = User

        fields = ['username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'gender', 'password']

        exclude = ['last_login', 'is_superuser','groups','user_permissions', 'is_admin', 'is_staff', 'is_active']

        widgets = {

            'password': forms.PasswordInput(),

        }

        

        def save(self):

            user = super(SignupForm, self).save(commit=False)

            user.set_password(self.cleaned_data['password'])

            user.save(commit=True)

            return user

my login view function is like this:

class LoginView(View):

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        form = LoginForm()

        return render_to_response('login.html', {'form':form},context_instance = RequestContext(request) )

    

    def post(self,request,*args, **kwargs ):

        username = self.request.POST['username']

        password = self.request.POST['password']

        user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)

        

        if user is not None:

            if user.is_active:

                print "You provided a correct username and password!"

                login(request, user)

                return redirect(reverse('bands-list'))

            else:

                login(request, user)

                print "Your account has been disabled!"

                return redirect(reverse('bands-list'))

        else:

            form = LoginForm()

            return render_to_response('login.html', {'form':form},context_instance = RequestContext(request) )

and somewhere in my template:

{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}

        <p>hello {{ user.first_name }}</p> <button class="btn btn-mini" >Logout</button>

        {% else %}

        <a class="btn btn-small" href="{% url 'login-view' %}">Login</a>

        <a class="btn btn-small" href="{% url 'register-view' %}">Signup</a>

        {% endif %}

the problem i am facing are:

1. when the user signs up, password stored are not encrypted, ( though i am overriding save() to do so above)

  there is no commit for user.save(); your whole code isn't even executed since save has to be a method on the form not of meta

2. though i provide correct password, request.user.is_authenticated does not works for me.

its only user.is_authenticated in template and not request.user.is_authenticated

kind suggestions are welcome.
