Editing custom user profiles information in the admin panel

[abisson]

Good evening,

I just tried the following https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/auth/
in order to add some custom fields to my users. I just looked in the
DB and admin panel, and these new fields were not added to the
auth_user table, nor the User Admin Panel. I created a new app that
contains the UserProfile Model that I want to add. I set the
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE and so far no errors.

Do I need to include the new app itself in the INSTALLED_APPS section
or not? Are these new fields stored in the auth_users table or a new
table? [Will it therefore always do JOINS?] How can I edit them for
each user?


Thanks!

Hi,
You must add your app to the installed apps. Editting through the
admin requires you to register an admin form for your profile. Syncdb
and you can edit.

Okay... and how is the SQL in the back? Does it do joins between the
two tables or what? That slows down a lot no?

I believe not, as user is a fk in the profile class, and you can only
access the profile through get_profile, it seems a query to me.
