Folks, Thought I might put it out there. I mean technically this is not limited to django. I need to extend the django.contrib.auth.models.User class (adding an extra field, making the email field unique and increasing the length of the username field).
Now what are your thoughts on doing this? Changes are clearly very small and extending what is there so they will not break the existing classes and apps (or other django apps out there) so I dont mind putting these changes to each version of django I use. I am not happy with doing this but I cant see a way around it. Adding another model class with these extensions just means that existing apps wont take advantage of this. Ideally I would like to see all apps and methods out there take the class variable that refers to the User model to be used so one could simply pass that in (say in settings.py) and it could even default to User model in django.contrib.auth. What are your thoughts? cheers Sri --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
