Question

I have a model which includes user object, and an extended form based on this model.
How do I access the User object’s fields in the form? If this is not the way to do it, what is a recommended way?

models.py

class Driver(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    phone = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    mobile = models.CharField(max_length=200)

forms.py

class DriverRegistrationForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Driver

page.html (What I would have liked to do…)

<label for="id_username">Username<span class="small">Add your name</span></label>{{form.user.username}}<!-- Not like this... -->
<label for="id_password">Password <span class="small">Small and big letters</span></label>{{form.user.password}}<!-- Not like this... -->
<label for="id_phone">Phone <span class="small">Your phone number</span></label>{{form.phone}}

Answer 1

In this case you can also extend the default user creation form

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class DriverRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
    phone = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ("username", "phone", "password1", "password2")
