Create a custom User model and Authenticate with it

[Devansh Soni]

Hi, 

I'm currently working on a Django project in which I have to create a User model with fields such as username, email, college, branch, semester, password, etc. And use this model to authenticate a user with an email and password.

How can I achieve this? Or what are the ways to achieve this?

Thank you

There's tons of documentation and examples for doing that.

Kind regards,

Davansh:

The tables are made already in Admin Django, you only have to build template (html), and the view. For example, in views.py:

def login_ini(request):
    variable1 = 'Pantalla de Acceso al Sistema'
    error_log = 'ok'
    username = request.POST.get('username')
    password = request.POST.get('password') # valor del template
    user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)
    if request.method == "POST":
        if user is not None and user.is_active:
            #Correct password, and the user is marked "active"
            auth.login(request, user)
            request.session['username_x'] = username # variable gobal
            request.session['id_x'] = user.id   # variable gobal
            return HttpResponseRedirect("principal")
            error_log = "error"

    context = {'user':user,"variable1":variable1,"error_log":error_log,}

    return render(request,'login_ini.html',context)
    

def log_out(request):
logout(request)
return redirect('login_ini')

Where login_ini.html, is the authentication template.

Only you must to build authentication template
