``RegistrationView`` only supports ``ModelForm`` but not conventional forms #228

Closed throwable-one closed 3 years ago

RegistrationView#get_form:73

        form_model = form_class._meta.model

It doesn't work with betterforms MultiModelForm or any other form that isn't ModelForm.

What about checking _meta field and ignoring result if it doesn't exist?

This is a much larger and more complex feature request than I think you're aware of, because what you're really heading down the path of doing is "what if I have a bunch of account-related model instances to create in a complex possibly-multi-step form wizard". Which would require some major code changes in django-registration to try to support. For now, it operates on the assumption that signing up a user involves one form, tied to one model, and that any additional forms or things you want to process or create afterward will be done in your own code.
