I need some extra fields on User and my first assumption was I could subclass user (yes, I am a newbie). Then I read the docs and they talk about using UserProfile. This article (http://scottbarnham.com/blog/ 2008/08/21/extending-the-django-user-model-with-inheritance/ #comment-621) seems to say that following some recent improvements in inheritance support, inheritance is now the better way to go. It certainly sounds attractive to me. Eg I only need one form to edit profiles instead of two.
My immediate requirements are: 1) Extend the User model and provide custom forms to add/edit my custom users 2) Use groups to create user groups So, here's my question: What are the specific reasons, if any, why I should NOT use model inheritance to extend my User model? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
