Hello,
I am writing website and i`d like to implement profile managment. Basic thing would be to edit some of user details by themself, like first and last name etc. Now, i had to extend User model to add my own stuff, and email address.
I am having troubles with displaying form. Example will describe better what i would like achieve.
This is mine extended user model.
class UserExtended(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
kod_pocztowy = models.CharField(max_length=6,blank=True)
email = models.EmailField()
This is how my form looks like.
class UserCreationFormExtended(UserCreationForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(UserCreationFormExtended, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['email'].required = True
self.fields['first_name'].required = False
self.fields['last_name'].required = False
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email')
It works fine when registering, as i need allow users to put username and email but when it goes to editing profile it displays too many fields. I would not like them to be able to edit username and email. How could i disable fields in form?
Thanks for help.
