I’m still not quite sure how the model = User plays a roll in my
custom user registration form.
Your form inherit from django.contrib.auth.forms.UserCreationForm which is a ModelForm.
I was wondering if someone could briefly explain to me this whole
process and why model = User is needed
ModelForms are documented here : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/forms/modelforms/
As a side note, if you had inherited your form’s Meta from UserCreationForm.Meta you wouldn’t need to specify the model once again.
My guess is that model is now a User object.
User is a class.
Also args[‘form’] = MyRegistrationForm() needs to be a model object
or else the code will crash. This is as far as my assumptions go.
Don’t assume: read the doc, then read the code (remember, it’s open source software).
