Hi,
I'm starting a new project and for the first time I need to extend the User
model.
I read the documentation and I googled a lot to try to figure out what is
the best approach but I got confused.
What's the the best approach?
Class inheritance:
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, UserManager
class myUser(User):
birthday = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True)
objects = UserManager()
Or OneToOneField (as doc suggests)
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
class myUser(User):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
birthday = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % self.user
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
myUser.objects.create(user=instance)
post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)
Thanks,
Alex
