I finally realized that simply inheriting a model will not work like I
expected. For example:
from django.core import validators
from django.contrib.auth.models import User as OldUser
from django.db import models
class User(OldUser):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(User, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
username = models.CharField(
_('username'), blank=True, maxlength=30, unique=False, \
validator_list=[validators.isAlphaNumeric], \
help_text=_("Required. 30 characters or fewer. Alphanumeric "\
"characters only (letters, digits and
underscores)."))
email = models.EmailField(_('e-mail address'), blank=False,
unique=True)
# additional fields, etc.
class Admin:
pass
class Event(models.Model):
def __str__(self):
return self.name
name = models.CharField(maxlength=100, blank=False)
attendants = models.ManyToManyField(User)
description = models.TextField()
class Admin:
pass
This will create a new mysite_user table and mysite_event_attendants
will refer to the correct foreign tables. However, under the /admin
site, the 'event' object still refer to 'auth_user' instead of
'mysite_user', and this will cause an error whenever you add/change/
delete.
Does that means the best I can do is to use 'auth' and 'admin' apps as
a simple admin backend, and build my own models/admin apps?
