How to Override .signup() on Django-Allauth Form

Question

I am trying to override .signup() on a form that inherits from django-allauth's SignupForm, but it does not seem to be working. My main goal is to save an instance of the UserProfile model at the same time as saving the User model.

Here is the code I have so far:

class MySignupForm(SignupForm):
    """ This form only used for django-allauth package (called in Settings.py) """
    first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'First name'}))
    last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=30, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Last name'}))
    dob = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'type': 'date', 'min': '1940-01-01', 'max': '2030-01-01'}))  # HTML5 Widget... works?

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        login_url = reverse_lazy('account_login')

        self.helper = FormHelper()
        self.helper.layout = Layout(
            Div('first_name', css_class='col-md-6'),
            Div('last_name', css_class='col-md-6'),
            Div('dob', css_class='col-md-12', style='clear: both'),
            Div('username', css_class='col-md-12', style='clear: both'),
            Div('email', css_class='col-md-12'),
            Div('password1', css_class='col-md-12', style='clear: both'),
            Div('password2', css_class='col-md-12'),
            HTML('<div class="col-md-12"><br></div>'),

            FormActions(
                Submit('submit', 'Register', css_class='btn btn-primary', style='display:block;clear:both;margin: 0 0 15px 15px;float:left'),
                HTML('<a href="{0}" class="btn btn-default" style="margin: 0 15px 15px 0;float:right;display:inline">Sign In</a>'.format(login_url))
            )
        )

    def signup(self, request, user):
        print(form.cleaned_data['dob'])
        return user

As you can see, I am trying to print() the dob, but when I try signing up, nothing shows up in my terminal! Any help would be appreciated.

you need this in your settings.py

ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS = 'yourproject.yourapp.forms.SignupForm'

EDIT:

you can just use the post_save signal to create userprofile instance

from django.db.models.signals import post_save

@receiver(post_save, sender=User, weak=False, dispatch_uid='models.create_userprofile')
def create_userprofile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

I actually did that already - the custom fields show in my registration form, but the `print()` statement isn't printing, which means that it is not being executed on signup. – Hybrid Jun 16 '16 at 04:01
@Hybrid i am not sure if you already tried that but you can listen to post_save signal. see my edit above – doniyor Jun 16 '16 at 04:05
there is also `pre_social_login` signal. --> `from allauth.socialaccount.signals import pre_social_login` – doniyor Jun 16 '16 at 04:07
The problem with this approach is that I will loose access to the `dob` field, which I need to save in the `UserProfile` model, NOT the `User` model – Hybrid Jun 16 '16 at 04:11
