No Email field in the User Registration Form

[akshat]

Hello, I am using Django 1.8 and creating a custom user model and registration. My Custom USer registration form is this - 

class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):

"""

A form that creates a user, with no privileges, from the given email and password

"""

def __init__(self,*args,**kargs):

super(CustomUserCreationForm,self).__init__(*args,**kargs)

del self.fields['username']

class Meta:

model = CustomUser

fields = ['email',]

My CustomUser model is this - 

class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser):

first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True)

last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True)

college = models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True)

email = models.EmailField(unique=True,blank=False)

date_joined = models.DateTimeField(_('date joined'), default=datetime.now())

is_active   = models.BooleanField(default=True)

is_superuser    = models.BooleanField(default=False)

is_staff    = models.BooleanField(default=False)

USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'

REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['first_name']

objects = CustomUserManager()

class Meta:

verbose_name = _('user')

verbose_name_plural = _('users')

def get_absolute_url(self):

return "/users/%s/" % urlquote(self.email)

def get_full_name(self):

"""

Returns the first name plus the last name , with a space in between

"""

full_name = '%s %s' % (self.first_name,self.last_name)

return full_name.strip()

def get_short_name(self):

"""

Returns the short name for the user

"""

return self.first_name

def email_user(self,subject,message,from_email=None):

"""

Sends an email to the user

"""

send_mail(subject,message,from_email,[self.email])

I am generating this form from this view - 

def register_user(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = CustomUserCreationForm(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():

            form.save()

            return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/register_success')

        

    else:

        form = CustomUserCreationForm()

    args = {}

    args.update(csrf(request))

    

    args['form'] = form

    

    return render(request, 'register.html', args)

And finally my register.html is this - 

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}

  

  <h2>Register</h2>

  

  {% for field in form %}

    {{field.error}}

  {% endfor %}

  

  <form action="/accounts/register/" method="post">

  {% csrf_token %}

  {{form.as_p}}

  

  

  

  <input type="submit" value="Register" />

    

  </form>

  

{% endblock %}

Despite doing everything right (I guess) my generated registration form has no email field and looks like this - 

Will please anybody help me in knowing where I am going wrong?

Thanks.

Where is your meta class ?

It is not in __init__() function, is it?

if it is then problem is there.

class Meta:

model = CustomUser

fields = ['email',]

del self.fields['username']




this is wrong, use exclude in Meta class to remove fields
