Accessing a Form's cleaned data from a signals callback?

I've been following the tutorial from this link and it's working perfectly:

http://johnparsons.net/index.php/2013/06/28/creating-profiles-with-django-registration/

My only problem however is this line from the user_registered_callback method:

profile.is_human = bool(request.POST["is_human"])

Because it's accessing the request variable directly (if you remove the bool function).

How do I do it so the value I'm passing to my model is already validated by the referring form?

Solution

  • The form instance is not passed to this signal so I am afraid that you have to validate the data again:

    def user_registered_callback(sender, user, request, **kwargs):

    form = ExRegistrationForm(request.POST)
    form.full_clean()

    profile = ExUserProfile(user=user)
    profile.is_human = form.cleaned_data['is_human']
    profile.save()
