POkeeping User.email unique from Django Admin
text
Body
copied!<p>I am using Django 1.3/Python 2.7.</p> <p>My application is using django.contrib.auth for User management. For the main user registration I have a form which checks if the 'email' has already been registered. So it makes sure all email fields are unique.</p> <p>But it happens that some admins use the django admin interface to add users, and end up adding duplicate accounts with the same email.</p> <p>For this purpose I have created a NewUserCreationForm, where I've duplicated the django.contrib.auth.UserCreationForm and added an 'email' field to it.</p> <pre><code>class NewUserCreationForm(forms.ModelForm): """ A form that creates a user, with no privileges, from the given username and password. """ username = forms.RegexField(label=_("Username"), max_length=30, regex=r'^[\w.@+-]+$', help_text = _("Required. 30 characters or fewer. Letters, digits and @/./+/-/_ only."), error_messages = {'invalid': _("This value may contain only letters, numbers and @/./+/-/_ characters.")}) password1 = forms.CharField(label=_("Password"), widget=forms.PasswordInput) password2 = forms.CharField(label=_("Password confirmation"), widget=forms.PasswordInput, help_text = _("Enter the same password as above, for verification.")) email = forms.EmailField(label=_("Email"), max_length=75) class Meta: model = User fields = ("username", "email") def clean_username(self): username = self.cleaned_data["username"] try: User.objects.get(username=username) except User.DoesNotExist: return username raise forms.ValidationError(_("A user with that username already exists.")) def clean_password2(self): password1 = self.cleaned_data.get("password1", "") password2 = self.cleaned_data["password2"] if password1 != password2: raise forms.ValidationError(_("The two password fields didn't match.")) return password2 def save(self, commit=True): user = super(NewUserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False) user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password1"]) user.email = self.email if commit: user.save() return user class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin): add_form = NewUserCreationForm admin.site.unregister(User) admin.site.register(User, CustomUserAdmin) </code></pre> <p>But this code isn't working. I can see the form rendering, but with no email field, just the Username, password1 and password2 fields.</p> <p>what is it that I am missing here?</p>
