In Django-Registration it says you can save a custom profile when you save a user.
But I have no idea what the documentation is asking me to do. Here is what they say
This is covered in this blogpost and expanded on in my answer to another question on the same issue
django-registration sends a signal at various events happening - registration and activation. At either of those points you can create a hook to that signal which will be given the user and request objects - from there you can create a profile for that user.
The signal from django-registration
#registration.signals.py
user_registered = Signal(providing_args=["user", "request"])
Code to create profile
#signals.py (in your project)
user_registered.connect(create_profile)
def create_profile(sender, instance, request, **kwargs):
from myapp.models import Profile
#If you want to set any values (perhaps passed via request)
#you can do that here
Profile(user = instance).save()
