Alternate user fields

[raj]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to figure out how to add more fields in the auth user
part of django. I looked through dozens of tutorials, and tried a lot
of things to no avail.
I simply ask this,
If a user were to sign up on my site, and he/she was required to
insert a skype SN, aim SN, etc.. How would one go about doing so?

I attempted to add fields into the User profile in the admin site, but
i couldn't do so. Would it be better to create an app that handles
this part (a new table), and it shares a relation with the auth user?
Thank you.

Did you look at < https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/auth/#storing-additional-information-about-users >?

Do you know that every time you ask questions on mailing lists without googling, a kitten dies? And a pony!

I've googled alot about this. Trust me. And when I use the
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE way, I am not getting the extra fields to show up
on my admin site. Can someone show me how to use it this way? I create
a model in an app, create additional fields in a UserProfile class,
and i syncdb, but nothing shows up in the auth_user section in the
admin page. Help please. Thank you.

You probably need to register your UserProfile with the admin < https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin >.

Its asking me to locate this admin.py file inside my application. I
can't find this file. Should I just make one inside an application
(after running the startapp function)?

Ya i got that working. Just another quick question, the django auth
system took care of all the login/logout pages. Now that i have a
changed user class up and running, will django automatically adapt to
the new class? Like, in the html, if it says {% user.is_authenticated
%}, will it automatically attribute that to the new user class? Thank
you.

I usually just write OneToOne against the User model for profiles. The
User.get_profile feels like such an anti-pattern and I think it's
going to go bye-bye sometime in the future anyways (particularly if we
get some kind of mechanism to lazy load a developer-defined User
model).
