I created this sign up form which is working perfectly fine. On the same template I created a login form. The sign up form has 3 parameters email, username and password while the login form has only username and password inputs. When I try to sign up everything works fine but when I try to login, it gives me MultiValueDictKeyError
Here's my views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth import login, logout, authenticate
from django.db import IntegrityError
# Create your views here.
def usersignup(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
return render(request, 'social_media/user.html')
else:
try:
user = User.objects.create_user(username=request.POST.get['username'], password=request.POST.get['password'], email=request.POST['email'])
user.save()
login(request, user)
return render(request, 'social_media/base.html')
except IntegrityError:
return render(request, 'social_media/user.html', {'error':'User already exists'})
def loginuser(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
return render(request, 'social_media/user.html')
else:
user = authenticate(request, username=request.POST.get['username'], password=request.POST.get['password'])
if user is none:
return render(request, 'social_media/user.html', {'errorsignin':'Invalid User man'})
else:
login(request, user)
return render(request, 'social_media/base.html')
Here's my HTML form:
{% load static %}
<form action="" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username">
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
<button type="submit">Sign In</button>
</form>
<form action="" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username">
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
<button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>
Is there any way I can just take username and password for signing up the user and not email or do I have to add an email input field for signing in the user!

replace
request.POST['']
with
request.POST.get('')
everywhere
example
request.POST['username']
to
request.POST.get('username')
