geocoding an IP and save using model forms

Question

i have this thing in my models.py file

        user = models.ForeignKey(\'auth.User\', unique = True) 
        latitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8,          


        

Answer 1

Overwrite the save method of form to populate latitude & longitude

from django.contrib.gis.utils import GeoIP
class registerForm(forms.ModelForm): 
    class Meta:
        model=register
        fields = ('Availability', 'Status')

    def save(self, ip_address, *args, **kwargs):
        g = GeoIP()
        lat, lon = `get the lat & lng`
        user_location = super(registerForm, self).save(commit=False)
        user_location.latitude = lat
        user_location.longitude = lon
        user_location.save(*args, **kwargs)

Answer 2

change this line

register = rform.save(commit=False)

to

register = rform.save(ip_address=request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'])
