Different user profile associated to a each user group

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi,

I've used custom user profiles in the past, but they were associated
to all users, now I need to associate a different custom profile for
each user group (for example: "corporate", "private").

Any hint about the best approach?

Hi,

I'd personally recommend re-using the same model and having a "type" field for whether it's corporate or private.

Otherwise, you'd need to do something like:

class Corporate(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)

class Private(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)

Then, you would need to try to query for the profile. Something like:

try:
    corporate = request.user.corporate
except Corporate.DoesNotExist:
    corporate = None
