Hi, i'm having some problems with the following.
Set-Up: I am extending the User Model with inheritance just as descirbed here: http://scottbarnham.com/blog/2008/08/21/extending-the-django-user-model-with-inheritance/ I think it is working pretty well since it is pretty powerfull and authentication and so on works fine. My extended Model is called "user_extra_data". Problem: The only problem I am having is that if you create a new user in the contrib.admin with the "user_extra_data" you can not just simply add a plain password twice just as in the regular "User" section, but get only one field with the notice "Use '[algo]$[salt]$[hexdigest]' or use the change password form.". Fair enough, there is link with "change password form" that links to /admin/user_extra_data/customuserdata/add/ password/ but throws a "Warning: Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value: 'add/password'". Because non technical persons shall also add passwords later, it is no solution to create the password hashes by hand. What not worked out: Actually there has been a ticket for this. http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8916 But I was not able to get the stuff running. Changing "admin.ModelAdmin" to "UserAdmin" has not worked out, since I get an Error: "ImproperlyConfigured: 'CustomUserDataAdmin.fieldsets[2][1] ['fields']' refers to field 'titel' that is missing from the form". Simplified Code (left out a lot of hopefully irrelevant parts): models.py in user_extra_data from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User, UserManager class CustomUserData(User): # New Extra Data being saved with every User titel = models.CharField(max_length = 20, blank=True) SEX_CHOICE = ( ('Male','Mr'), ('Female','Mrs'), ) sex = models.CharField(max_length = 5, choices = SEX_CHOICE) last_change_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, ) # Use NewUserManager to get the create_user method objects = NewUserManager() ------------------------------------------------------ admin.py in user_extra_data from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin from django.contrib import admin from user_extra_data.models import CustomUserData class CustomUserDataAdmin(UserAdmin): fieldsets = [ (None, {'fields': ('titel', 'sex', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'password')}), ('More', {'fields': ('username', 'date_joined','last_login', 'is_staff','is_active', 'is_superuser', 'groups', 'user_permissions'), 'classes': ('collapse',)}), ] prepopulated_fields = {"username": ("last_name", "first_name",)} radio_fields = {"sex": admin.HORIZONTAL} admin.site.register(CustomUserData, CustomUserDataAdmin) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
