How do I extend UserCreationForm to include email field

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?!

  1. In forms.py change the name of class UserCreationForm from to something else:

UserCreationForm -> ProfileCreation Form

class ProfileCreation(UserCreationForm)

  1. in views.py import this class:

from . forms import ProfileCreation

You have imported the UserCreationForm from django.contrib.auth.forms in your view. So the forms.py has been skipped.

forms.py

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

class SignupForm(UserCreationForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ("username", "email",)

views.py

from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.views import generic
from accounts.forms import SignupForm

class SignUpView(generic.CreateView):
    form_class = SignupForm
    success_url = reverse_lazy('login')
    template_name = 'stories/register.html'

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.
