Django Form Not Saving the Data

Question

I've imported this from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm used csrf_token in the form but still when I hit submit the page reloads but doesn't save the data to database.

def signup(req):
    if req.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(req.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
    form = UserCreationForm()
    reg_con={
        'regform': form
    }
    return render(req, 'signup.html', reg_con)

form

<form action="." method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ regform.as_ul }}
    <input type="submit" value="Sign Up">
</form>

Answer 1

Try removing the action attribute from your form tag. Also don't forget to redirect after calling form.save()

Answer 2

This is normally because something is wrong with your form the problem is however that you each time construct a new form, and you thus can not see what went wrong. You should only create a new form in case it is a GET request, so:

def signup(req):
    if req.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(req.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
    :
        form = UserCreationForm()
    reg_con={
        'regform': form
    }
    return render(req, 'signup.html', reg_con)
