How can I change a Django form field value before saving?
If you need to do something to the data before saving, just create a function like:
def clean_nameofdata(self):
data = self.cleaned_data['nameofdata']
# do some stuff
return data
All you need is to create a function with the name **clean_***nameofdata* where nameofdata is the name of the field, so if you want to modify password field, you need:
def clean_password(self):
if you need to modify passwordrepeat
def clean_passwordrepeat(self):
So inside there, just encrypt your password and return the encrypted one.
I mean:
def clean_password(self):
data = self.cleaned_data['password']
# encrypt stuff
return data
so when you valid the form, the password would be encrypted.
See the documentation for the save()
method
if request.method == 'POST':
userf = UsersModelForm(request.POST)
new_user = userf.save(commit=False)
username = userf.cleaned_data['username']
password = userf.cleaned_data['password']
passwordrepeat = userf.cleaned_data['passwordrepeat']
email = userf.cleaned_data['email']
new_user.password = new1
new_user.passwordrepeat = new2
new_user.save()
