Thank you for your help Andre - I've now worked out what the problem
was. I was editing the wrong copy of the source code (it happens to
everyone at some point!) so no wonder the changes were not
happening... In the end I just created a completely new url path (i.e.
not 'accounts/register') and called registration.views with a
completely new form class in the dictionary parameter.
Here's my final code with the RegistrationForm for reference. In my
project's urls.py I added the following lines:
import registration.backends.default.urls #
django-registration urls
from registration.views import register #
django-registration view
from myapp.newform import MyNewRegistrationForm # my own
customised form
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^accounts/', include(registration.backends.default.urls)),
url(r'^accounts/registration/$', register, {'backend':
'registration.backends.default.DefaultBackend', 'form_class':
MyNewRegistrationForm },
name='registration_register'),
I just copied the code from the original RegistrationForm class to
myapp.newform and added my customised fields, including the
TermsOfService field I originally wanted...
