You, sir, are awesome. It worked perfectly.
In case anyone else is wondering what I did:
In models.py:
# import the auth User
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Create the proxy model, inherits from User:
class myUser(User):
class Meta:
proxy = True
def __unicode__(self):
if not self.last_name or not self.first_name:
return u'%s' % (self.username)
else:
return u'%s, %s' % (self.last_name, self.first_name)
Also in models.py, all instances that had a ForeignKey or
ManyToManyField pointing to User, I changed to myUser.
In admin.py:
# import the auth User and UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
class MyModelAdmin(UserAdmin):
def formfield_for_manytomany(self, db_field, request, **kwargs):
if db_field.name == "users":
kwargs["queryset"] = myUser.objects.get(id=request.id)
return super(MyModelAdmin,
self).formfield_for_manytomany(db_field, request, **kwargs)
# Had to unregister the User so it could be registered with
MyModelAdmin
admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, MyModelAdmin)
Though to be completely honest, I have no idea what:
if db_field.name == "users":
is doing. I can change "users" to anything and it still works, but if
I take that line out, I cannot add a new User. So any help with that
would be appreciated. And if what I did can be done simpler or better,
please let me know.
