I'm using a proxy model of django.contrib.auth.models.User to override __unicode__ and add some extra methods. This also means that I use my proxy model class in my ForeignKey and ManyToMany fields. This is all find and good until I need to use request.user and assign it to an instance of another of my models. Django tells me that I can't assign an instance of User where I need an instance of my proxy class. Right now I'm doing something I'm sure is very inefficient to get around this:
obj.author = ProxyUser.objects.get(pk=request.user.pk) That results in an extra hit to the DB. The other way that seems to work is: obj.author = ProxyUser(**request.user.__dict__) I think that should be fine, but it feels hackish. How would you guys do this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
