I am using a custom user model with an extra field 'uid'. While i am trying to create a new user from the admin page, the uid field is not showing up. I've created a custom user create and update form.please see the code below.
models.py
from django.db import models
# Create your models here.
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
uid = models.CharField(max_length=50)
forms.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm
from .models import CustomUser
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
uid = forms.CharField(label = "uid")
class Meta(UserCreationForm):
model = CustomUser
fields = ('username', 'password', 'uid')
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super(UserCreateForm, self).save(commit=False)
user.uid = self.cleaned_data["uid"]
if commit:
user.save()
return user
Did i miss something or am i doing it wrong? please help.
Edit: admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from support.models import CustomUser
# Register your models here.
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from .forms import CustomUserCreationForm, CustomUserChangeForm
class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
add_form = CustomUserCreationForm
form = CustomUserChangeForm
model = CustomUser
list_display = ['username','password','uid']
admin.site.register(CustomUser, CustomUserAdmin)
