Hi,
I am writing a basic login routine using django users.
Here is the view:
def login_result(request):
username = request.POST['u']
password = request.POST['p']
logging.debug("look for user %s / %s" % (username, password))
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
logging.debug("found user %s (%s)" % (username,
user.username))
if user.is_active:
login(request, user)
t = loader.get_template('login/login_success.html')
return HttpResponse(t.render())
else:
t = loader.get_template('login/login_disabled.html')
return HttpResponse(t.render())
else:
t = loader.get_template('login/login_no_such_user.html')
u = request.POST['u']
c = Context({
'user': u,
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
It generates the following SQL before returning a login_no_such_user
message (using MySQL backend):
SELECT `auth_user`.`id`, `auth_user`.`username`,
`auth_user`.`first_name`, `auth_user`.`last_name`,
`auth_user`.`email`, `auth_user`.`password`, `auth_user`.`is_staff`,
`auth_user`.`is_active`, `auth_user`.`is_superuser`,
`auth_user`.`last_login`, `auth_user`.`date_joined` FROM `auth_user`
WHERE `auth_user`.`username` = 'ricky'
If I run that SQL manually, I get the result I am after. The
submitted passwords also match.
I suspect my problem may be my user model, subclassed from
django.contrib.auth.models User:
- - - -
class QotdUser(User):
alternate_id = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
identifier = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
service = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
location = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True,
blank=True)
profile_url = models.URLField(null=True)
questions_proposed_cnt = models.IntegerField(default=0)
questions_published_cnt = models.IntegerField(default=0)
answers_cnt = models.IntegerField(default=0)
featured_status = models.BooleanField("Is Featured",
default=False)
icon = models.ImageField(upload_to=settings.UPLOAD_PATH,
blank=True, null=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.identifier
def has_answers(self):
return self.answers_cnt > 0
def increment_answers(self):
self.answers_cnt = self.answers_cnt + 1
self.save()
logging.debug("increment answers to %d in QotdUser %s" %
(self.answers_cnt, self.identifier))
def decrement_answers(self):
self.answers_cnt = self.answers_cnt - 1
self.save()
logging.debug("decrement answers to %d in QotdUser %s" %
(self.answers_cnt, self.identifier))
- - - -
That is the user model that I have defined, but Django is doing
something I don't understand. It is referring to the auth_user table
instead. When I create a user using the admin, the user is created in
both auth_user and the user table for my app, api_qotduser.
Can anyone help me figure out what is going on? Have I subclassed
User from django.contrib.auth.models wrong?
Thanks,
Jim
