My form doesn't add data to database - Django

Question

I've just started my journey with django. Form is displayed on page, data typing works well, but data doesnt go to database. Form is about registation system on page.

models.py:

from django.db import models
from datetime import date

class Users(models.Model):
    login           = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    password        = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    mail            = models.CharField(max_length=40)
    create_date     = models.DateTimeField(default = date.today(), blank=True)

forms.py:

from django import forms
from .models import Users

class Register(forms.ModelForm):
    password = forms.CharField(max_length=32, min_length = 8, widget=forms.PasswordInput)
    login = forms.CharField(min_length=4, max_length=30)
    mail = forms.EmailField()
    class Meta:
        model = Users
        fields = ['login','password','mail']

register.html:

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}
<div id="form-user">
    <form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <input type="submit" value="SAVE" />
    </form>
</div>
{% endblock %}

views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render
from .forms import Register
from .models import Users


def register(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = Register(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save(commit = True)
            form = Register()
    form = Register()
    return render(request, "register.html", {'form': form})

The problem lies in your views.py.You can try:

from django.shortcuts import render,redirect
from .forms import Register
from .models import Users


def register(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = Register(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save(commit=False)
            form.save()
            return redirect('/') #redirect after saving
    form = Register()
    return render(request, "register.html", {'form': form})

Ok, now at least i know whats going on. I dont see any data in db by admin panel, but python shell shows objects by Users.objects.all(). So, i guess i messed up something with settings or my db is saved somewhere else.

You should register your users model in django admin.py of your app to see the data
