Multiple UserProfile

[Ignacio Soto]

Hi there...

i want to create 2 user profile: cutomer and seller with diferents fields and quantity of fields

but there is a problem with Get_Profile()

i've reading about it and i found some inheritance hacks.. but i doubt it was the good way?

what is the right way to do it?

thanks

Just make your models for the customer and seller profiles, and attach
them to users with a OneToOne field. You can only specify one to be used
with User.get_profile(), but I've learned from discussions among core
developers that get_profile() is something many consider useless. It's
even been proposed to remove it entirely.

If you're writing code that needs to use fields in your customer and
seller profile models then you're obviously going to have to know which
you're using, so there's no benefit to abstracting the
user.seller_profile.get() to user.get_profile(), and it makes the intent
less obvious.

Oops, correction: You'd use user.seller_profile and user.customer_profile if you've set it up as a OneToOneField -- the get() is unnecessary (and won't work).

You'd use get() if you used a ForeignKey with unique = True, but that's silly because a OneToOneField does exactly that but more explicitly.

Ok, thannks i will try, and let you know...

Then why not have a 'type' in your profile which tracks the user type?

I have a basic profile with information common to both customer and
seller called Person and separate models called customer and seller with
foreign key to person. Thus one person may have multiple roles.

[Ignacio Soto]

Ok, kenneth i havent seen it that way.

I will use your model.

I really apreciate it

Thanks
