Django form not displaying name and email fields - django

Question

I am trying to learn how to use the User class and have made a form, but cant get it to display the email, first_name and last_name fields, I have the following code:
forms.py:
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(required = True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = (
'username',
'email',
'first_name'
'password1',
'password2'
)
def save(self, commit = True):
user super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit = False)
user.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name']
user.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name']
user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']
if commit:
user.save()
return user
views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
def index(request):
return HttpResponse('index page')
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('accounts')
else:
form = UserCreationForm()
return render(request, 'accounts/register.html', {'form': form})
# Create your views here.
register.html:
{% extends 'accounts/base.html' %}
{% block head %}
<title> Sign Up</title>
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
<h2>Sign up</h2>
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit">Sign up</button>
</form>
{% endblock %}
When I go to /accounts/register a form with username, password and password confirmation fields appear and the form works and saves to the database. But where are the first_name, last_name, email fields inlcuded in the User model?

Answer 1

Use RegistrationForm instead of UserCreationForm in your views
replace
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
to
from .forms import RegistrationForm
form = RegistrationForm()
