Have failed to find an easy answer to this so will lazily ask the
broader community before I retire tonight ;-).
I have a model that I use to extend the User model like yo:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Dude(models.Model):
nickname = models.CharField('Nickname', max_length=MAX_NAME_LENGTH)
clans = models.ManyToManyField('League', blank=True,
related_name='dudes_in_clan')
user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='dude',
blank=True, null=True, default=None)
Now {{ user }} renders as the user name quite well in my templates so I
can show the logged in user in a header. Nice.
But I'd like to access fields in the extended model like {{
user.dude.nickname }}.
Alas, it's not that simple clearly. I'm missing something, as that
renders blank.
The Django Toolbar is not very helpful in drilling down as it only lists:
'user': <SimpleLazyObject: <User: me>>
and reveals nothing about the . notation elements of user that I might
be able to access. I can access all the fields of the User model like
{{ user.date_joined }} works fine. But the related_name of the OneToOne
relationship isn't working as I'd have hoped.
Is there a trick I'm missing?
Regards,
Bernd.
