I create in my model the Authors
class Author(User):
""" An Author is someone more of less identified """
# TODO : Ensure that in fact the users are FK to the Django user
management code
gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER_CHOICES)
persistance = models.ForeignKey(PersistanceDuration)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s %s --> user-id : %s (%s)' % (self.first_name,
self.last_name, self.username, self.email)
class Admin:
list_display = ( 'username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name',
'gender', 'date_joined', 'last_login')
list_filter = ( 'username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name',
'gender')
ordering = ('username',)
search_fields = ( 'username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name',
'gender')
class Meta:
ordering = ['username']
****************************
In the admin console I see Author I created and they are active.
However when I try to authenticate with the following code (either in
a django-shell or in the View):
def login(request):
logging.fatal ('def login(request):')
if (request.method== 'POST'):
user = None
username = request.POST['username']
email = request.POST['email']
pwd = request.POST['password']
logging.fatal('Value received :\n\tusername : %s\n\te-mail : %s\n
\tpassword : %s' % (username, email, pwd))
if username is not None :
user = authenticate(username=username, password=pwd)
...
********************************************
The user is always "None"...
What do I do wrong ... ?
It seems to me that everything is OK but the authenticate keeps on
returning None !
