Hi, My custom user model requires unique email addresses, which are the users' identifiers.
My user registration modelform works great. If a user tries to register with an email that is already in the system, the form fails to validate and the 'unique' invalid message is displayed back to the user. I am trying to create an authentication modelform based on the same user model. When I try to authenticate a registered user, the email field throws the unique validation error. How can I overwrite this property? I've tried: class MyUserModel(AbstractBaseUser): """ Custom User Model requires unique email address. """ # email field email = models.EmailField( unique=True, error_messages={ 'invalid': "You must enter a valid email address.", 'unique': "Your email address is already in our system!" } ) class MyAuthForm(forms.ModelForm): """ Form for authenticating users. """ def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(MyAuthForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.Meta.model.email.unique = True I've tried a few variations on this with no luck. Any ideas?
