No, it's a very bad method. Consider what happens if two people want to add fields of the same name; trying to stick them in the User model will obviously fail and break at least one person's code. Using the standard method of a related profile model keeps them neatly namespaced. As a general rule, consider code in other people's applications (including applications in django.contrib) to be read-only. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
