Django-Admin Exception Value: 'DeclarativeFieldsMetaclass' object is not iterable

Question

Hi I have one form in forms.py

class EmailForm(forms.Form): recipient = forms.CharField(max_length=14, min_length=12, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=require)) message = forms.CharField(max_length=140, min_length=1, widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'cols': 30, 'rows': 5}))

and my site url is admin.autodiscover() urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^admin/(.*)', include(admin.site.urls)),)

now i want it to be shown on admin interface

I tried so far First attempt

from myapps.forms import EmailForm class EmailAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = EmailForm did not work Exception Value: 'DeclarativeFieldsMetaclass' object is not iterable

Second attempt and now i followed http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contri... but could not get help

class EmailAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): def my_view(self,request): return admin_my_view(request,self)

def get_urls(self):
    urls = super(SmsAdmin, self).get_urls()
    my_urls = patterns('',(r'^my_view/

$',self.admin_site.admin_view(self.my_view))) return my_urls + urls

def admin_my_view(request, model_admin): opts = model_admin.model._meta admin_site = model_admin.admin_site has_perm = request.user.has_perm(opts.app_label \ + '.' + opts.get_change_permission()) context = {'admin_site': admin_site.name, 'title': "My Custom View", 'opts': opts, 'root_path': '/%s' % admin_site.root_path, 'app_label': opts.app_label, 'has_change_permission': has_perm} template = 'admin/demo_app/admin_my_view.html' return render_to_response(template, context,context_instance=RequestContext(request)) admin.site.register(EmailForm,EmailAdmin)

and when i run server and type on browser localhost:8000/admin and hit enter button

Exception Value: 'DeclarativeFieldsMetaclass' object is not iterable

and second time just after first time when i again enter then it show me the admin page but i can't see my EmailAdmin in admin intercae..

Just help me or suggest me any link.

Thanks

(This is my attempt at reformatting your model code):

class EmailForm(forms.Form):
    recipient = forms.CharField(max_length=14, min_length=12,
         widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=require))
    message = forms.CharField(max_length=140, min_length=1,
         widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'cols': 30, 'rows': 5}))

I would put my money on the bit that says "attrs=require" -- if that's not a typo.

What you want instead is something like this:

    recipient = forms.CharField(max_length=14, min_length=12,
         widget=forms.TextInput(), required=True)
