Extending new user form, in the admin Django

Question

I have added an extra field for the User by doing the whole process where making User Profile app and extending the User module.

It doesn't seem to error. What I cant figure out, or find anywhere is how to show this new field in the page where an admin creates a new user. So under personal information such as First name and last Name I want there to be Location field that I added to User Profile.

my User Profile:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    # This field is required.
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)

    # Other fields here
    location = models.CharField(max_length=20)

# definition of UserProfile from above
# ...

def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)

also I would like to know how to make the email mandatory, like password and username. Just changing the user model in the Django folder to:

 email = models.EmailField(_('e-mail address'), unique=True)

didn't work at all.

[UPDATE] So this is my admin.py hat I created. Where should i include this in the settings.py file so that it would actually use the folder with the added user module and the new form? I have this line but it doesnt seem to use the new form at all AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'UserProfile.UserProfile' (i have a folder called UserProfile which contains the two snipets of code)

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, CustomUserAdmin)
admin.site.register(Class, ClassAdmin)

You'll need to use your own UserAdmin class and modify the add_fieldsets property to alter the fields that are displayed. See this Stack Overflow question for an example.

If you want to edit your UserProfile instance at the same time as the User, one approach is to add the UserProfile as an inline to your custom UserAdmin. Hope that helps you out.

Example of un-registering the built-in model admin for user, and registering a custom one:

#admin.py
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

admin.site.unregister(User)

class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
    add_fieldsets = (
        (None, {
            'classes': ('wide',),
            'fields': ('username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2')}
        ),
    )

admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)
