*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)* *2. though i provide correct password, request.user.is_authenticated does not works for me.* * * kind suggestions are welcome.
