Hi,
i want to know what the best practice is for following problem. I use the built in user authentication framework. I've already made the login authenticate against our AD. Works fine (see http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/901/) In our company, usernames are specified with a period between the first and last name. When i want to edit or add a user with the admin view, i get a warning. To change this behaviour, i edited UserCreationForm and UserChangeForm from django\contrib\auth\forms.py. This doesn't feel right as changes will be lost when i update django (i track svn so it happens :)) so how would i go about to change this in a decent way? I tried to override the 2 forms in my models.py file class MyUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm): username = forms.RegexField(label=_("Username"), max_length=30, regex=r'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', help_text = _("Required. 30 characters or fewer. Alphanumeric characters only (letters, digits, underscores, period, @ and +)."), error_message = _("This value must contain only letters, numbers and underscores.")) class Meta: model = User fields = ("username",) class MyUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm): username = forms.RegexField(label=_("Username"), max_length=30, regex=r'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', help_text = _("Required. 30 characters or fewer. Alphanumeric characters only (letters, digits, underscores, period, @ and +)."), error_message = _("This value must contain only letters, numbers and underscores.")) class Meta: model = User Then in my admin.py file: class MyUserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = MyUserChangeForm add_form = MyUserCreationForm admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin) But then i get the error message "The model User is already registered" I had the same error when i wanted to change the permissions on the default User.
