ImproperlyConfigured: AUTH_USER_MODEL refers to model 'user.ExtendedUserModel' that has not been installed

[aryak.s...@lexmark.com]

I am trying to run the sandbox site (which I've done successfully ) and I am also trying enable the user app so that my model gets migrated.  

So far I've followed the docs religiously I have done the following: 

+ oscar.get_core_apps(['apps.user']) #Added this line to the settings.py file

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'user.ExtendedUserModel' #Now I am trying to point to this as my auth model

But no matter what I try, I keep getting the following error:

ImproperlyConfigured: AUTH_USER_MODEL refers to model 'user.ExtendedUserModel' that has not been installed

Anyone has an insight on this?

The output of that function is a list; are you adding that list to the list `INSTALLED_APPS` ?

Check this page of the docs. http://django-oscar.readthedocs.io/en/stable/topics/customisation.html#replace-oscar-s-app-with-your-own-in-installed-apps

Yes I have added it to INSTALLED_APPS. I've done it in the following manner:

INSTALLED_APPS = [

    'django.contrib.auth',

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    'django.contrib.sessions',

    'django.contrib.sites',

    'django.contrib.messages',

    'django.contrib.admin',

    'django.contrib.flatpages',

    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'django.contrib.sitemaps',

    'django_extensions',

    # Debug toolbar + extensions

    'debug_toolbar',

    'apps.gateway',     # For allowing dashboard access

    'widget_tweaks',

]+ oscar.get_core_apps(['apps.user']) #Added this line to the settings.py file

I forgot to add the INSTALLED_APPS section in my previous post. What am I missing exactly?

Hmm; have you made your own user models or are you forking oscars customer model?

I'm creating my own user model. The one which is given in this documentation -  http://django-oscar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/use_a_custom_user_model.html . I still facing the same problem. 

Actually, let me tell you about my requirement. I need to add a phone number field along with the username and email id for a user. What is the best way to accomplish this? Should I go ahead and create my own user model(like I have tried doing above) or should I fork out the customer app of oscar?

A little heads up on any one of the methods will be extremely helpful. And apologies for the delayed reply. I was tangled up in some other work. 

Thanks.
