1.5 user abstract question

[frocco]

Hello

I need a couple of extra fields in my user model

Do I have to specify all fields in django user?

Is django user still used?

Hi Frocco

> I need a couple of extra fields in my user model

You can connect a model in your app to the user model and add your
fields there.

Example myapp/models.py:
...
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
...
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='profile')
...

You can then access your data via "user.profile" in your views.

Hope that helps,
Andreas

You can define your Custom User Model in your models.py (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/customizing/#substituting-a-custom-user-model)

and then in your settings specify with AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyUser'
