Hi,
I realized a new way to extend user models, it is simpler than official
get_profile approach of django[1] as there is only one model to work with,
and relationships are kept on the right model, and gives a less hacky feel
than "replaces_module" method[2].
User.add_to_class("openid", models.URLField(blank=True))
User._meta.admin.fields += (
("AmitCom Extensions", { 'fields': ('openid', ) }),
)
*class* UserExtension(object):
*def* _get_comments(self):
*return* Comment.objects.get(user=self, is_public=True)
public_comments = property(_get_comments)
*del* _get_comments
User.__bases__ = User.__bases__ + ( UserExtension, )
Read my blog post about the same[3] for a longer discussion about pros and
cons. How does it sound?
