OK, after digging through mezzanine/account/forms.py, it looks like what I
really wanted to subclass was ProfileFieldsForm, like so:
class MyProfileFieldsForm(ProfileFieldsForm):
class Meta(ProfileFieldsForm.Meta):
widgets = {
'skills': forms.TextInput
}
class MyProfileForm(ProfileForm):
def get_profile_fields_form(self):
try:
return MyProfileFieldsForm
except NameError:
raise ProfileNotConfigured
That gives me a generic text input for my field. Now to create my widget
...
