That makes sense, but just above the text I quoted from the docs, the
code example shown uses the Admin, so it's confusing, at least to me.
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from my_user_profile_app.models import Employee
# Define an inline admin descriptor for Employee model
# which acts a bit like a singleton
class EmployeeInline(admin.StackedInline):
model = Employee
can_delete = False
verbose_name_plural = 'employee'
# Define a new User admin
class UserAdmin(UserAdmin):
inlines = (EmployeeInline, )
# Re-register UserAdmin
admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)from
django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from my_user_profile_app.models import Employee
# Define an inline admin descriptor for Employee model
# which acts a bit like a singleton
class EmployeeInline(admin.StackedInline):
model = Employee
can_delete = False
