from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Profile(models.Model):

    email = models.EmailField(max_length=125)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=125)

Forms.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm
from profiles.models import Profile

class UpdateProfile(forms.ModelForm):
    username = forms.CharField(required=True)
    email = forms.EmailField(required=True)
    first_name = forms.CharField(required=False)
    last_name = forms.CharField(required=False)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name')

    def clean_email(self):
        username = self.cleaned_data.get('username')
        email = self.cleaned_data.get('email')

        if email and User.objects.filter(email=email).exclude(username=username).count():
            raise forms.ValidationError('This email address is already in use. Please supply a different email address.')
        return email

    def save(self, commit=True):
        user = super(RegistrationForm, self).save(commit=False)
        user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']

        if commit:
            user.save()

        return user

That is my code above with the erro and I just can not get to wrap my head around what the problem is.Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This code

class Meta:
    model = User
    fields = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name')

does not belong in your model. Hence, both model and fields are invalid keyword arguments for your model's Meta class.

EDIT to respond to comments:

If you want to add more fields, you would add them on your model:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    my_new_field = models.IntegerField()

Then, in your model form, add my_new_field into the fields parameter. Note that unless you want to do something beyond what your model is providing, you only need to add this to the tuple of fields. In other words, you do not need to add:

my_new_field = forms.IntegerField()

ModelForm handles this magically for you, as shown in the docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/forms/modelforms/#modelform

This is the advantage of using things like model forms and model viewsets. It keeps your code DRY by re-using the schema of your model, inferring the fields and field types.

I hope that clears things up.

Answer 2

remove attrs

class Profile(models.Model):
    # ... your code here
    class Meta: # And this line need to remove
        model = User # And this line need to remove
        fields = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name') # this line need to remove

in Model meta you can use only models options

If you want to extend the default django user model, read the auth customizing

Answer 3

For your last error need to replace

class UpdateProfile(forms.ModelForm):
    # your code ...
    def save(self, commit=True):
        user = super(RegistrationForm, self).save(commit=False)
        #           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

to

class UpdateProfile(forms.ModelForm):
    # your code ...
    def save(self, commit=True):
        user = super(UpdateProfile, self).save(commit=False)
        #           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
