Cannot overwrite 'get_fieldsets' in custom UserAdmin

[he...@art.bieszczady.pl]

I'm using a custom user model and a custom UserAdmin.

I try do overwrite the 'get_fieldsets' method to change some fields and hide some others, bud django admin still uses the  'get_fieldsets' method from django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin.

My CustomUserAdmin Class:

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from users.models import User  # custom user model


class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin):

    add_fieldsets = (
        (None, {
            'classes': ('wide',),
            'fields': ('email', 'username', 'password1', 'password2')
        }),
    )

    # The forms to add and change user instances
    form = UserChangeForm
    add_form = UserCreationForm

    # The fields to be used in displaying the User model.
    # These override the definitions on the base UserAdmin
    # that reference specific fields on auth.User.
    list_display = ('email', 'username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_active', 'is_staff',
                    'is_superuser')
    list_filter = ('is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser')
    search_fields = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'username')
    ordering = ('email',)
    filter_horizontal = ('groups', 'user_permissions',)


    def get_fieldsets(self, request, obj=None):
        if not obj:
            return self.add_fieldsets

        if request.user.is_superuser and request.user.pk != obj.pk:
            perm_fields = ('is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser',
                           'groups', 'user_permissions')
        else:
            perm_fields = ('is_active', 'is_staff', 'groups')

        return [(None, {'fields': ('email', 'password')}),
                (_('Personal info'), {'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name', 'username', 'biography')}),
                (_('Permissions'), {'fields': perm_fields}),
                (_('Important dates'), {'fields': ('last_login', 'date_joined')})]


admin.site.register(User, CustomUserAdmin)

Some body have an idea, whats going on?

I'm working on this for days.

Please help.

Some more details:

I'm using Django 1.6.

When I debug the site, I see that users.admin.CustomUserAdmin is scanned, when starting the App.

But when loading the UserChangeForm the 'get_fieldsets' method from django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin is used.

The custom UserChangeForm looks kike this:

class UserChangeForm(forms.ModelForm):
 """A form for updating users. Includes all the fields on
 the user, but replaces the password field with admin's
 password hash display field.
 """
 password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField(label=_("Password"),
 help_text=_("Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see "
 "this user's password, but you can change the password "
 "using <a href=\"password/\">this form</a>."))
 username = forms.CharField(label=_('nickname'), max_length=64,
 help_text=_('How do people call you?'))
 email = forms.EmailField(label=_('email address'), max_length=254)

 class Meta:
 model = User
 fields = '__all__'

 def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
 super(UserChangeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
 f = self.fields.get('user_permissions', None)
 if f is not None:
 f.queryset = f.queryset.select_related('content_type')

 def clean_password(self):
 # Regardless of what the user provides, return the initial value.
 # This is done here, rather than on the field, because the
 # field does not have access to the initial value
 return self.initial["password"]

Somebody has an idea?

first of all you need unregister default django models and then register yours AdminModel like:
admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, CustomUserAdmin)

As I use a custom user model the default django user model is not registered. When I try to unregister it I get an error.

See example in the django docs:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/customizing/#a-full-example.

Henri, can you set a "pdb.set_trace" or print something  at the beginning of your "get_fieldsets" to see if it is being called or not?

Hi Lagovas,

the trace and error message when unregistering the default Django user with your code:

  File "/home/pacha/web/rcl-network.local/private/django/rcl-network/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/boot/__init__.py", line 78, in autodiscover

    admin_site.lazy_registration()

  File "/home/pacha/web/rcl-network.local/private/django/rcl-network/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/boot/lazy_admin.py", line 33, in lazy_registration

    getattr(AdminSite, name)(self, *deferred_args, **deferred_kwargs)

  File "/home/pacha/web/rcl-network.local/private/django/rcl-network/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/sites.py", line 107, in unregister

    raise NotRegistered('The model %s is not registered' % model.__name__)

django.contrib.admin.sites.NotRegistered: The model User is not registered

Felippe,

No, it seems, that my"get_fieldsets"  isn't called.

Also when debugging by stepping through the code, as described in my second post, I see when loading the UserChangeForm the 'get_fieldsets' method from django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin is used instead of my custom one.
