Tying data to a user's account

Question

I am writing a signup form for my django site. And basically I want them to hit submit and create the account. I have written code that creates a license key when they hit it but I don't know how to tie it to their account. Any ideas?

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth import login
from .forms import SignupForm
from Functions.average_getter_shortened import baseline
from Functions.today_checker import today_getter
from Functions.license_key import license_getter
def signup(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SignupForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save()
            try:
                license_key = license_getter(access_key='access_key')
            except:
                license_key = 'Key'
            login(request, user)
            return render(request, r'registration\license_key.html', {'license_key' : license_key})
    else:
        form = SignupForm()
    return render(request, r'registration\signup.html', {'form': form})

I tried to implement user.save() after the except statement but then the website wouldnt redirect to the license_key page. I also tried my best to search up 'how to tie data to a user's account' but no luck.

I know this is quite a stupid question but I am new to django and couldn't find any resources on how to do this.

Answer 1

I just used the normal user model and saved the licensekey to it

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth import login
from .forms import SignupForm
from Functions.average_getter_shortened import baseline
from Functions.today_checker import today_getter
from Functions.license_key import license_getter
from accounts.models import CustomUser
def signup(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SignupForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save()
            try:
                license_key = license_getter(access_key='access_key')
            except:
                license_key = 'Key'
            user.license_key = license_key
            user.save()
            login(request, user)
            return render(request, r'registration\license_key.html', {'license_key' : license_key})
    else:
        form = SignupForm()
    return render(request, r'registration\signup.html', {'form': form})
