Primary Key for auth_user is User.__str__() ??

[gkelly]

I have the following model and view:

http://pastebin.ca/182428

If I manually edit
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Django-0.95-py2.4.egg/django/contrib/auth/models.py
and change User.__str__(self) to return a string like
'TEST'+self.username, then 'testuser' above will become 'TESTtestuser'.

So it appears pk_val is user.username and not user.id?? What's going on
here?

bump. please help. this is driving me nuts.

Not sure if this is your problem, but the documentation for
OneToOneFields says, "we don't recommend you use them."

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#one-to-one-relationships

One of my applications has a UserProfile object. After trying
OneToOneFields and not quite getting the results I wanted, I settled
on using a ForeignKey instead of a OneToOne, and it works.

Hope that helps,

Alan.

Alan,

I've tried using ForeignKey also. It gives me different problems. See
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/ad493aadb30b3cde/

I'd love to get some more input.

Thanks,
Grant
