I did a bit of testing and I discovered a new method for adding a user to a group after purchase. It is similar to signals, except it strictly uses the views.py:
This current version is bugged (since I am a Django noob), but if I can somehow direct the active authenticated user to the new group through the code below, this issue will finally be resolved: def Order_Processor(request): if request.user.is_authenticated: customer= request.user.customer order,created = Order.objects.get_or_create(customer=customer, complete=False) user = request.user.is_authenticated group = Group.objects.get(name='target_group') user.groups.add(group) return redirect('home') The area in red is what really needs some editing. Would you happen to know how to modify this for operationality? Thank you!! On Thursday, October 1, 2020 at 9:36:00 AM UTC-4 Derek wrote: > I am not sure about your details but is my code structure.
