I am following these two references (one <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25313> and two <http://django-authtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to/migrate-to-a-custom-user-model.html>) to have a custom user model in order to authenticate via email and also to add an extra field to it.
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): email = models.EmailField( unique=True, max_length=254, ) mobile_number = models.IntegerField(unique=True) is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False) objects = UserManager() ... ... class Meta: db_table = 'auth_user' ... ... As you can see, I have added the db_table='auth_user' into the Meta fields of the class. Also, I have included AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.User' and the User model app (i.e., accounts) into the INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py. Further more, I deleted the migrations folder from the app. Then tried migrating: $ python manage.py makemigrations accountsMigrations for 'accounts': accounts/migrations/0001_initial.py: - Create model User $ python manage.py migrate accounts Which gives me an error: django.db.migrations.exceptions.InconsistentMigrationHistory: Migration admin.0001_initial is applied before its dependency accounts.0001_initial on database 'default'. How can I migrate from the existing django user model into a custom user model? Could you guys please help me out.
