Comment (by anonymous):
when you subclass the user, i would like to subclass even the
AnonymousUser in request to check the user attributes without using
getattr, or define custom methods, even for an AnonymousUser user.
for example, i have got a field that is called "user_discount" and i have
got a method that return the final price of the user.
i use this method a lot of time in the site, because it's an commerce, and
it's useful to do request.user.dicounted_price("120") without doing a mess
like this get_discounted_price_from_user(user, 120), and using a function
and not a class, and in every part of my code i have to check if user
is_authenticated before using custom method of my user class.
for me an AnonymousUser, should be a subclass of the user class, but it
must be declared importing the user class from the backend and then
subclassing it.
i've a attached a new backend file,
this is an easy way to allow developers to completely use another User and
Permission backend using 3 line of code (read the backends.py i've
attached)
class MyModelBackend(ModelBackend):
user_class = MyUser
permission_class = MyPermission
anonymoususer_class = MyAnonymousUser
with this class i can set my own model table for existing legacy user and
permission, without rewrite login, logout, password_change and so on...
