The Goal is To Customize Form, Then Pass it to LoginView.
I am using AuthenticationForm after Customizing it, but i see it repeats extra one input,
I guess it is for username, i need only two inputs, E-Mail and Password.
any advice.
Forms:
class AccountSignInForm(AuthenticationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(widget=forms.EmailInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'E-Mail..'}), label='E-Mail')
password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Password..'}), label='Password')
class Meta:
model = Account
fields = ['email', 'password']
Urls:
app_name = 'accounts'
urlpatterns = [
path('sign-in', views.AccountLoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
]
Views:
class AccountLoginView(LoginView):
template_name = 'accounts/login.html'
form_class = AccountSignInForm
success_url = 'HomePageView'
HTML:
<h1>Login Form</h1>
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for field in form %}
<div>{{ field.label }}</div>
<div>{{ field }}</div>
{% endfor %}
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>
Hello @AhmdMWddh
As you say, the extra field is for the username field.
You can see it here: django/forms.py at main · django/django · GitHub
What you could do if you don’t want the “username” field being showed inside the form is to override it to a hidden input.
Just remember that this won’t work if you didn’t customize also your authentication module. What I mean is that Django, by default, uses the username and password fields to login. The email field is there only for information purposes.
If you want to use the email field as “username” field, at least for authentication, you need to create a model inheriting from “AbstractUser” and set the USERNAME_FIELD property to email. You could also write your own authentication module, but option needs more work involved.
You can see more information about the first option here: Add custom field to Django Admin authentication form - Stack Overflow
