I managed to get the stock standard User Creation Form to work. Which included just the username, password1 and password2 field. However, when I try to include the email field it never shows up in my template. I think I'm missing something in my view perhaps. Here is my code:
forms.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(required=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("username", "email", "password1", "password2")
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False)
user.email = self.cleaned_data["email"]
if commit:
user.save()
return user
views.py
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
def register_user(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))
args['form'] = UserCreationForm()
return render_to_response('stories/register.html', args)
register.html
<form action = "/register/" method = "POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<p>
{{ form.username.label_tag }}
{{ form.username}}
</p>
<p>
{{ form.email.label_tag }}
{{ form.email }}
</p>
<p>
{{ form.password1.label_tag }}
{{ form.password1 }}
</p>
<p>
{{ form.password2.label_tag }}
{{ form.password2 }}
</p>
<input type = "submit" value = "register" />
</form>
All of the fields in this file are being rendered into the view, Except the email field.
Can anyone spot why?!

I'm new with django and I tried what you posted and I had to changed to work ... Here's what I did.
forms.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(required=True, label='Email')
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("username", "email", "password1", "password2")
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False)
user.email = self.cleaned_data["email"]
if commit:
user.save()
return user
views.py
from .forms import UserCreationForm
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.views import generic
class SignUp(generic.CreateView):
form_class = UserCreationForm
success_url = reverse_lazy('login')
template_name = 'accounts/signup.html'
signup.html
{% extends 'polls/base.html' %}
{% load bootstrap4 %}
{% load static %}
{% block content %}
<body class="body_login">
<form method="post" class="form-signup">
{% csrf_token %}
{% bootstrap_form form %}
<button type="submit" class="save btn btn-dark">Sign up</button>
</form>
</body>
{% endblock %}
You are importing the wrong UserCreationForm in views.py. You should import your own form not the Django's one:
stories/views.py
from stories.forms import UserCreationForm
...
Besides that, you don't have to wrap all your fields with <p></p> individually as there exists form.as_p() for this job.
register.html
<form action = "/register/" method = "POST">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
</form>
Hope this helps.
