Best way to work with sign up form validator

[Tristan]

Hi,

Whats the best way to add new fields to the pinax account signup app?
Also, whats the best way to change the javascript validator to require
existing fields like for example, the email field...?

I don't know if it is the best but that is what i did (briefly):

in urls.py

    url(r'^f/account/signup/$', account_signup, {'form_class': forms.ExtendendSignupForm}, name="acct_signup"),

    url(r'^wrap/signup/$', views.wrap_signup, name='wrap_acct_signup'),


where ExtendedSignupForm derives from SignupForm (the pinax signup form)

then use a <form action="{% url wrap_acct_signup %}"> in your template

so in wrap_signup I call form.is_valid (it will call also the pinax one),  account.views.signup (the pinax signup default controller) and my custom actions.

In order to customize the javascript validator you have to change./override the custom template
