Re: Best way to get a proxy model instance from a base class instance

Best way to get a proxy model instance from a base class instance

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
