                <div class="form-group">
                    <label style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: dodgerblue;">Username</label>
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username">
                </div>

                <br>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: dodgerblue;">First Name</label>
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="first_name">
                </div>

                <br>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: dodgerblue;">Last Name</label>
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="last_name">
                </div>
                
                <br>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: dodgerblue;">Enter Your Email</label>
                    <input type="email" class="form-control" name="email">
                </div>
                <br>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: dodgerblue;">Password</label>
                    <input type="password" class="form-control" name="password">
                </div>
                <br>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: dodgerblue;">Repeat Password</label>
                    <input type="password" class="form-control" name="password2">
                </div>

                <br>
                <div class="mb-3">
                    <label for="formFile" class="form-label">Profile Image</label>
                    <input class="form-control" type="file" id="formFile" name="profile_image">
                  </div>

                <br>
                <a href="{% url 'login' %}" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: dodgerblue;">Already Have An Account</a>
                <br>
                <br>
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-warning">Create</button>
            </form>

this is my profie_image template.

<div class="mb-3">
                <label for="formFile" class="form-label">Profile Image</label>
                <input class="form-control" type="file" id="formFile" name="profile_image">
              </div>

the register view:

def register(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':
        username = request.POST['username']
        first_name = request.POST['first_name']
        last_name = request.POST['last_name']
        email = request.POST['email']
        password = request.POST['password']
        password2 = request.POST['password2']
        profile_image =request.POST['profile_image']

        if password == password2:
            if User.objects.filter(email=email).exists():
                messages.info(request, 'Email or user name Already taking')
                return redirect('register')
            elif User.objects.filter(username=username).exists():
                messages.info(request, 'username is taken')
                return redirect('register')
            else:
                user = User.objects.create_user(username=username, first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name, email=email, password=password, profile_image=profile_image)
                user.save();
                return redirect('login')
        else:
            messages.info(request, 'Password Not Match')
            return redirect('register')   
        return redirect ('/')     
    else:
        return render(request, 'signup.html')

Solution

  • To solve this problem as i said in the comment you can just create an other model

    1)models.py

    class Profile(models.Model):
        user = models.OneToOneField(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
        profile_image = models.ImageField(upload_to="avatars/")
        #you can other fields here if you want
    
        def __str__(self):
            return self.pk
    

    2)run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate
    3)

    def register(request):
    
        if request.method == 'POST':
            username = request.POST['username']
            first_name = request.POST['first_name']
            last_name = request.POST['last_name']
            email = request.POST['email']
            password = request.POST['password']
            password2 = request.POST['password2']
            profile_image =request.POST['profile_image']
    
            if password == password2:
                if User.objects.filter(email=email).exists():
                    messages.info(request, 'Email or user name Already taking')
                    return redirect('register')
                elif User.objects.filter(username=username).exists():
                    messages.info(request, 'username is taken')
                    return redirect('register')
                else:
                    user = User.objects.create_user(username=username, first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name, email=email, password=password)
                    Profile.objects.create(user=user,profile_image=profile_image)
                    return redirect('login')
            else:
                messages.info(request, 'Password Not Match')
                return redirect('register')   
            return redirect ('/')     
        else:
            return render(request, 'signup.html')
    

    NB:DO not forget to import the Profile model.
    5) An other option is to extend the User model you can refer to this https://stackoverflow.com/a/67204210/15042684
