Wagtail RichTextField not showing in Django ModelForm

My problem is that the RichTextField is the only field not displayed in the form.

I have a Model:

class RealestateObject(models.Model):

    title = models.CharField(
        max_length=256,
        verbose_name=_('Object Title'),
    )

    summary = RichTextField(
        verbose_name=_('Summary'),
        blank=True, null=True,
    )

    description = models.TextField(
        verbose_name=_('Description'),
        blank=True, null=True,
)

And a form:

class RealestateObjectForm(forms.ModelForm):

class Meta:
    model = TestRealestateObject
    fields = ('title',
              'summary',
              'description'
              )

and my template:

<form method="POST" action="">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
    <button type="submit">Insert</button>
</form>

the title and description field are displayed in the form, the summary not. Is there a solution for this and/or a work around? I can't use the Wagtail Form Builder. It also would be great if I could use the richtext editor.

thanks.

RichTextField depends on some additional Javascript and CSS which is defined through Django form media. You need to add the following to your template (preferably within the HTML <head> section):

{{ form.media.js }}
{{ form.media.css }}

Bear in mind that RichTextField is primarily designed for use within the Wagtail admin interface, and some of its functionality (especially the popup link/image choosers) may well depend on other JS/CSS from there - disabling these features through the features argument is one option for dealing with that.
