Hi.

I have a model, called Student, which has some fields, and a OneToOne relationship with user (django.contrib.auth.User).

class Student(models.Model):

    phone = models.CharField(max_length = 25 )
    birthdate = models.DateField(null=True) 
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=1,choices = GENDER_CHOICES) 
    city = models.CharField(max_length = 50)
    personalInfo = models.TextField()
    user = models.OneToOneField(User,unique=True)

Then, I have a ModelForm for that model

class StudentForm (forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
    model = Student

Using the fields attribute in class Meta, i've managed to show only some fields in a template. However, can I indicate which user fields to show?

Something as:

   fields =('personalInfo','user.username')

is currently not showing anything. Works with only StudentFields though/

Thanks in advance.
