Yeah, the auth module doesn't support this very well. I'd recommend
storing the shared information and a type field in the
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE model.
So:
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = app.Shared
class Shared(models.Model)
type = 'client_profile'
birth_date = ...
# more shared fields
class ClientProfile(models.Model)
shared = models.OneToOneField(Shared, related_name='client_profile')
then you can do:
shared_profile = User.get_profile()
client_profile = shared_profile.client_profile
Or even dynamically, if you make sure shared.type matches extended's
related_name:
shared_profile = User.get_profile()
extended_profile = getattr(shared_profile, shared_profile.type)
