Hi Andrew,
My custom model looks like this:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class MyUser(User):
class Meta:
proxy = True
def my_custom_method(self):
return "Something"
This is a proxy class and it's only scope is to extend the User model with
a method. And how I understand from here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/auth/customizing/#custom-users-and-proxy-models
I must inherit directly from the User model that is currently in use in my
project.
I understood Daniel Roseman's suggestions and I wanted to follow it, but it
thrown me the exception: TypeError: MyUser cannot proxy the swapped model
'myapp.MyUser'.
