Hello,
I've written a custom user model, and wished to set a field as the primary
key. See the example below.
class User(AbstractBaseUser):
email = models.EmailField(_('email'), max_length=75, unique=True,
primary_key=True)
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
...
Registering the user works fine, but when I authenticate the user using
django.contrib.auth.views.login, I get an error stating that the 'User'
object has no attribute 'id'.
I discussed this on IRC, where it was suggested to report this as a bug.
We believe it is desirable to use .pk instead, for reasons related to
portability.
A quick search has shown that there are 12 instances of 'user.id'.
Here's a summary of the error report:
Exception Type: AttributeError
Exception Value: 'User' object has no attribute 'id'
Exception Location: <path>/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/django/contrib/auth/__init__.py in login, line 84
Python Executable: <path>/bin/python
Python Version: 2.6.5
Regards,
Mark
