in django User and i have 2 groups, i want whenever i create a user, create a corresponding profile for it (depending on which group it belongs to) how should i manage it?



i have used this method:



def create_profile(sender, **kwargs):
if kwargs['created'] :
UserProfile.objects.create(user=kwargs['instance'])

post_save.connect(create_profile, sender=User)


But it creates userprofile whenever i create a user.
How can I have conditions to check which group it belongs too and then have create corresponding profile for it



In my registration process i made sure they have a group and it cant be changed



    if 'signup_provider_btn' in request.POST:
providers = Group.objects.get(name='providers')
providers.user_set.add(user)
elif 'signup_user_btn' in request.POST:
users = Group.objects.get(name='users')
users.user_set.add(user)


creating a user and assigning it to a group:



    user = User()
username = request.POST.get('username', '')
user.username = username
password = request.POST.get('password', '')
user.set_password(password)
# users.name = request.POST.get("")
# users.image = request.POST.get("phone")
user.save()
if 'signup_provider_btn' in request.POST:
providers = Group.objects.get(name='providers')
providers.user_set.add(user)
elif 'signup_user_btn' in request.POST:
users = Group.objects.get(name='users')
users.user_set.add(user)

  • What are you going to do if someone changes the user's group ? What if the user is created with more than one group ? Or with no group at all ? Also, the user record is created before it's added to any group, so you won't never get this information at this stage (I mean, in a post_save handler called with created=True).

  • the fact you're doing this in your registration process doesn't garantee a user will have a group and a single one - a user can be created outside your registration process - nor that there's no way it's group(s) won't ever change (this can be done in the admin or by just any part of the code). And from experience, I can garantee you will have to deal with those cases at one point or another (unless your project is abandonned before being ever used at least).

  • As a side note: the above excerpt of your "registration process" code contains the very obious answer to your question - create the profile at this point, which is where you do have all the relevant informations ;-)
