Wouldn't that be a use case for djangos built in (but hardly documented)
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting?
e.g.
settings.py: ----------
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'common.UserProfile'
myproject.common.models.py: ----------
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
site = models.ForeignKey(Site, default=settings.SITE_ID, blank=True)
nick = models.CharField(maxlength=32, blank=True, null=True)
def informalName(self):
return self.nick
def formalName(self):
return '%s %s' % (self.user.first_name, self.user.last_name)
...
And then in views:
request.user.get_profile().formalName()
or in templates:
{{ user.get_profile.formalName }}
