How can I add a new database entry upon user registration with Django?
I'm starting to learn Django and have a class called Customer in my models. I'm importing django.contrib.auth to register users to the database, but I would like to also initialize a Customer object upon registration. I first attempted to override the save() method from the UserCreationForm and initialize a Customer object there: class UserCreationForm(forms.ModelForm): def save(self, commit=True): user = super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False) user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password1"]) customer = Customer(self) customer.save() if commit: user.save() return user But it did not seem to create a Customer object. Alternatively, is it better to extend the User class to have the Customer class fields? I initially thought I should keep authentication separate, which is why I created the Customer class.

Django - view another user's profile - QuerySet Error 'matching query does not exist'
I'm trying to set up a basic blog on django where one may view the profile of any other user (simple for the time-being, I will update perms in due course).

The url seems to direct ok, however, I'm getting a QuerySet error 'matching query does not exist'.

Ordering by related object by related object in Django

Session based authentication to Django Rest Framework from Angular
The DRF documentation (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#authentication) states that Token authentication is appropriate for client-server setups, such as native desktop and mobile clients. and Session authentication is appropriate for AJAX clients that are running in the same session context as your website. Yet most of the tutorials and StackOverflow questions/answers about Django Rest Framework Authentication suggest using Token authentication in most of the cases, even with webapps.
