So I have just had a try with a new written UserManager and it works. My model looks the following way now:
from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User, UserManager import datetime class NewUserManager(models.Manager): def create_user(self, username, email, password, extradata): """Creates and saves a User with the given username, e-mail and password. The extradata dictionary set as attributes to the model""" now = datetime.datetime.now() user = self.model(None, username, '', '', email.strip().lower(), 'placeholder', False, True, False, now, now) user.set_password(password) # username email and password do not have to be saved again del extradata['username'] del extradata['email'] del extradata['password'] for key in extradata: setattr(user, key, extradata[key]) user.save() return user class CustomUserData(User): # New Extra Data being saved with every User city = models.CharField(max_length = 255) [...] # Use UserManager to get the create_user method, etc. objects = NewUserManager() and the save() changed to def save(self): CustomUserData.objects.create_user( username=self.cleaned_data['username'], email=self.cleaned_data['email'], password=self.cleaned_data['password'], extradata=self.cleaned_data) So this looks pretty nice to me.
