python - How to add extra fields using django.forms Textarea -

i newbie in django , working on pootle project.

i add bio (in textarea), interests (textarea), , profile pics (image upload). page looking this: http://pootle.locamotion.org/accounts/personal/edit/ (you might need login see page)

i have edited local_apps/pootle_profile/views.py looks this:

from django.forms import modelform, textarea   class userform(modelform):                                                         class meta:                                                                        model = user                                                                   fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'bio')                           widgets = {'bio': textarea(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 20})}   

and in ""templates/profiles/edit_personal.html" "

<form method="post" action="/accounts/{{user.username}}/">                         <p>          <label for="id_first_name">{% trans 'first name' %}</label>                    {{ form.first_name }}                                                          {{ form.first_name.errors }}     </p>     <p>          <label for="id_last_name">{% trans 'last name' %}</label>                      {{ form.last_name }}         {{ form.last_name.errors }}     </p>     <p>         <label for="id_email">{% trans 'email address' %}</label>         {{ form.email }}         {{ form.email.errors }}     </p>     <p>         <label for="id_bio">{% trans 'bio' %}</label>         {{ form.bio }}                                                                 {{ form.bio.errors }}     </p>                                                                           <p class="common-buttons-block">         <input type="submit" class="save" value="{% trans 'save' %}" />            </p>                                                                       </form> 

but not show last bio textarea field on profile page. not loading form.bio. here html source:

<p>     <label for="id_email">email address</label>     <input id="id_email" type="text" name="email" value="sample@email.com" maxlength="75" /> </p> <p>     <label for="id_bio">bio</label> </p> 

i have added bio column in auth_user:

mariadb [pootle]> describe auth_user; +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | field        | type         | null | key | default |          | +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id           | int(11)      | no   | pri | null    | auto_increment | | username     | varchar(30)  | no   | uni | null    |                | | first_name   | varchar(30)  | no   |     | null    |                | | last_name    | varchar(30)  | no   |     | null    |                | | email        | varchar(75)  | no   |     | null    |                | | password     | varchar(128) | no   |     | null    |                | | is_staff     | tinyint(1)   | no   |     | null    |                | | is_active    | tinyint(1)   | no   |     | null    |                | | is_superuser | tinyint(1)   | no   |     | null    |                | | last_login   | datetime     | no   |     | null    |                | | date_joined  | datetime     | no   |     | null    |                | | bio          | text         | yes  |     | null    |                | +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ 12 rows in set (0.00 sec) 

could see missing? suggestions appreciated!!

regards

firstly, digitalpbk says, don't manually add columns django's tables. instead, create userprofile model in own app, onetoonefield auth.user.

secondly, add fields modelform, need define them explicitly @ form level:

class userform(modelform):                                                         bio = forms.charfield(widget=forms.textarea(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 20}))     class meta:                                                                        model = user                                                                   fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'bio')                   

finally, you'll need in view manually save field, user model doesn't know it.
