I don't think I've explained myself well enough. I'm working on a new app. I need to extend the django.contrib.auth.User model to include additional fields. What's the best way to do that? One to One relationships? I read http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ModelInheritance, which is in development... But I need a solution now. It references using one to one relationships and also using module_name and remove_fields variables in the model's META class....
So I was wondering what everyone else does and what's generally accepted as good practice? ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott McCracken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Django users <django-users@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 4:07:23 PM GMT-0600 Subject: Re: Extending an existing model?

If you don't mind clearing your existing user data, you can use the reset command on your model: manage.py reset appname If your data is important you'll need to use ALTER TABLE statements in your database.
