I tried something like this:
*models.py
class MyUser(User):
pass
*admin.py
class MyUserAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
is_staff = models.BooleanField(_('staff status'),
default=True, help_text=_("Test."))
class Meta:
model = User
class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
form = PublisherAdminForm
admin.site.register(MyUser, MyUserAdmin)
Any idea why the help text wouldn't show up in the admin for this?
