Django Form not recognising model Attribute

Django doesn't seem to recognise the model object in my custom user form.

This is the error:

AttributeError: 'CustomLeiterCreationForm' object has no attribute 'model'

And this is my forms.py

from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm
from .models import Leiter


class CustomLeiterCreationForm(UserCreationForm):

    class Meta(UserCreationForm):
        model = Leiter
        fields = ('username', 'email')


class CustomLeiterChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
    class Meta(UserChangeForm):
        model = Leiter
        fields = ('username', 'email')

Where did I go wrong?

Edit: The stacktrace when I had Meta like so: class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta)

You let your Meta class inherit from the UserCreationForm. You should not do that. You might want to inherit from the Meta of the UserCreationForm:

class CustomLeiterCreationForm(UserCreationForm):

    class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
        model = Leiter
        fields = ('username', 'email')

The same holds for the Meta in the CustomLeiterChangeForm.

Furthermore you wrote:

admin.site.register(Leiter, CustomLeiterCreationForm)

But you should not register the CustomLeiterCreationForm nor CustomLeiterChangeForm. You should make a subclass of the UserAdmin, and update it accordingly, like:

from django.contrib import admin from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

class LeiterUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
    add_form = CustomLeiterCreationForm
    form = CustomLeiterChangeForm
    model = Leiter
    # some fields defined on Leiter
    list_display = ['email', 'username',]

admin.site.register(Leiter, LeiterUserAdmin)
