I followed the django doc
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/auth/customizing/#a-full-example>
on creating a custom user model while extending the model itself with my
own fields. So it became like this:
class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, unique=True)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=35)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=35)
username = models.CharField(max_length=70, unique=True)
date_of_birth = models.DateField()
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
@property
def is_staff(self):
return self.is_admin
def get_full_name(self):
return ('%s %s') % (self.first_name, self.last_name)
def get_short_name(self):
return self.username
objects = MyUserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'username',
'date_of_birth']
And its manager to be:
class MyUserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, first_name, last_name, username,
date_of_birth, password=None):
if not email:
raise ValueError('User must have an email address')
user = self.model(
email=self.normalize_email(email),
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
username=username,
date_of_birth=date_of_birth,
)
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, first_name, last_name, username,
date_of_birth, password):
user = self.create_user(
email,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
username=username,
date_of_birth=date_of_birth,
password=password
)
user.is_admin = True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
However, after I created the superuser while syncdb, when I login to the
admin panel, there is nothing to do. It displays:
* You don't have permission to edit anything.*
I saw some other post with the same problem and most of them suggested to
add *admin.autodiscover()* in the urls.py. But even this didn't help me.
This is the admin.py:
class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
form = UserChangeForm
add_form = UserCreationForm
list_display = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'username',
'date_of_birth', 'is_admin')
list_filter = ('is_admin',)
fieldsets = (
(None, {'fields': ('email', 'password')}),
('Personal info', {'fields': (('first_name', 'last_name'),
'username', 'date_of_birth')}),
('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_admin',)}),
)
add_fieldsets = (
(None, {
'classes': ('Wide',),
'fields': ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'username',
'date_of_birth')
}),
)
search_fields = ('email',)
ordering = ('email',)
filter_horizontal = ()
admin.site.register(MyUser, MyUserAdmin)
What am I doing wrong here? Please help me how to solve this problem. Thank
you.
