Extened User and have fieldsets instead of inlines

[Elliot]

Is it possible to have a exteneded user profile in the 'User' part of the admin. I have tried the following with a form (UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm)) with 2 fields 'something' and 'something else'

class UserAdminCustom(UserAdmin):

    form = UserProfileForm

     fieldsets = (

         (None, {'fields': ('username', 'password', 'something', 'something_else')}),

         ('Personal info', {'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email')}),

         ('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_staff', 'is_active', 'is_superuser', 'user_permissions')}),

         ('Important dates', {'fields': ('last_login', 'date_joined')}),

         ('Groups', {'fields': ('groups',)}),

     )

    

admin.site.unregister(User)

admin.site.register(User, UserAdminCustom)

What it results in is the 2 new fields as expected in the User in admin but the fields are empty and it saves nothing to these fields on save. 

Is the only option to use inlines, like below, or am I just missing something.

class UserProfile2Inline(admin.StackedInline):

    model = UserProfile2

class UserAdminCustom(UserAdmin):

    inlines = (UserProfile2Inline,)

admin.site.unregister(User)

admin.site.register(User, UserAdminCustom)

Cheers if someone can shed some light on this for me.

I've personally used your approach with the following Inline:

class UserProfile2Inline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = UserProfile2

    can_delete = False
    fk_name = 'user'   
    max_num = 1

Thanks Andrea,

I was more looking to see if anyone had used fieldsets instead of inlines. I imagine it would be quite possible with rewriting the view that serves up the change form for user. It just seems that the fieldset gets rendered because of the associated form but then isn't actually related to the model. Hence the empty fields and not saving the values.

Can you make your UserProfile2 a subclass of UserProfile?
