Yeps, that's what your code looks like - copy/paste without true
undrestanding...
Here's a (shortened and simplified) snippet:
class ProfileForm(forms.Form):
# User fields
first_name = forms.CharField(
label=_("First name"),
max_length=30
)
last_name = forms.CharField(
label=_("Last name"),
max_length=30
)
email = forms.EmailField(
label=_("E-mail"),
max_length=128,
help_text=_(u"ex : pre...@exemple.com")
)
_USER_FIELDS = (
'first_name',
'last_name',
'email'
)
# Profile fields
address1 = forms.CharField(
label=_("Address 1"),
max_length=80
)
address2 = forms.CharField(
label=_("Address 2"),
max_length=80,
required=False
)
postcode = forms.CharField(
label=_("Postcode"),
max_length=10, # should be enough for most cases ? NB : max 8
in current dataset
required=False # no postcode for IR ???
)
town = forms.CharField(
label=_("Town"),
max_length=100
)
