Hey guys, I'm trying to extend the User class to add some additional
information to user's profiles. I've been reading
http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/06/06/django-tips-extending-user-model
for some information, but I don't think the blog post really explains
how to get it fully working. What I'm currently doing is this...
When I create a user, I do the following lines, and then it get to the
profile callback function...
# Create the user.
new_user = User.objects.create_user(username, email, password)
new_user.first_name = firstname
new_user.is_active = False
new_user.save()
# And finally create the registration profile.
registration_profile = self.create_profile(new_user)
# Create site-specific profile, if specified.
if profile_callback is not None:
profile_callback(user=new_user)
My profile callback functions looks like so...
from mysite.apps.profile import models
def CreateExtendedProfile(user):
user = models.ExtendedUserProfile()
user.save()
return
The extended profile looks like..
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class ExtendedUserProfile(models.Model):
home_state = models.USStateField(blank=True)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
I do have AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE properly pointing to this. This here
gets an error when calling CreateExtendedProfile, saying that user_id
cannot be null. Is this not the proper way to do this?
Thanks
