Hello friends, i'm new with django. I've something to ask you.
I'm building a website similar to eBay where i've different "kinds" of users. These are: CustomerUser and SellerUser. Both of them has different data to be saved. While reading docs and django book i noted the UserProfile "trick" (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/auth/#storing- additional-information-about-users) to store additional info about my users. The problem is that i've two different users, not just one. I'm wondering what would be the best choice. I've think that i could use some inheritance, keeping the UserProfile strategy. class UserProfile(models.Model): # some common data user = models.OneToOneField(User) class Seller(UserProfile): #specific Seller data class Customer(UserProfile): #specific Customer data I tried to make that work, but i coulnd. I ran into several errors. After that i thought i could include oneToOne info in the UserProfile, similiar to: class UserProfile(models.Model): is_seller = models.BooleanField() is_customer = models.BooleanField() seller_info = models.OneToOneField(SellerInfo) customer_info = models.OneToOneField(CustomerInfo) user = models.OneToOneField(User) class SellerInfo(models.Model): #specific Seller data class CustomerInfo(models.Model): #specific Customer data I think this should work, but also think that would be a "weird and ugly" solution. Have you expirienced this kind of problem? Can you help me with some idea please?
