Your error does not lie in your posted code. You’ve followed the docs to the letter, so I would’ve been surprised if it did.

Instead, the error is found in your Alert class (models.py:55). for_user = models.ForeignKey() has to be for_user = models.ForeignKey(User) or for_user = models.ForeignKey(UserInfo), depending on which you prefer.

Your faulty code was trying to instantiate an instance of the class ForeignKey, which calls it’s __init__() method. That method will have a declaration of something like

def __init__(self, other_model):

and thus the error message saying that you’re missing one parameter. self gets passed implicitly, read up on the Python classes docs if you’re interested.

Try this

class UserInfo(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    pen_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    activated = models.BooleanField()
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.email + '-' + self.pen_name

    def create_user_info(self, **kwargs):
         u = kwargs["instance"]
         created = kwargs["created"]
         if not created:
            UserInfo(user=u).save()

post_save.connect(UserInfo.create_user_info, sender=User)
