I'm trying to add some additional fields to the allauth signup form (first_name and last_name). I'm thinking the best way to do this is to create a allauth SignupForm subclass and add my own fields (very new to django so please let me know if I'm going about this wrong)
I added
ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS = 'accounts.forms.UserCreateForm'
to my base settings file
and here is my accounts.forms.py...
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from allauth.account.forms import SignupForm
from django import forms
class UserCreateForm(SignupForm):
class Meta:
fields = ("first_name", "last_name", "email", "username", "password1", "password2")
model = get_user_model()
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields["first_name"].label = ''
self.fields["first_name"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "First Name"
self.fields["last_name"].label = ''
self.fields["last_name"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Last Name"
self.fields["email"].label = ''
self.fields["email"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Email"
self.fields["username"].label = ''
self.fields["username"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Username"
self.fields["password1"].label = ''
self.fields["password1"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Password"
self.fields["password2"].label = ''
self.fields["password2"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Confirm Password"
for some reason I keep getting the error ...
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error importing form class accounts.forms: "cannot import name 'SignupForm'"
Not sure why. Obviously there is a SignupForm in allauth.account.forms.py, seen here... https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/blob/master/allauth/account/forms.py
I dont know what I'm doing wrong. Any help you can give is much appreciated
