The built-in UserAdmin has special code that deals with the password encryption flow for a new user account. Take a look at the code in /django/contrib/auth/admin.py. You will probably want to extend the UserAdmin class there with your own "StudentAdmin" class. You should also look at the add_form parameter there which uses a special form for the "Add User" action. You may have to extend that form as well. At this point, you should also consider simply copying over the entire django.contrib.auth.* code hierarchy into your own custom app and making your necessary extensions directly to those models instead of using the contrib.auth built-in application. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
