sorry for the delay in replying
I have added an extra field for the User by doing the whole process
where making User Profile app and extending the User module.
It doesn't seem to error. What I cant figure out, or find anywhere is
how to show this new field in the page where an admin creates a new
user. So under personal information such as First name and last Name I
want there to be Location field that I added to User Profile.
my User Profile:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
class UserProfile(models.Model):
# This field is required.
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
# Other fields here
location = models.CharField(max_length=20)
# definition of UserProfile from above
# ...
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)
post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)
also I would like to know how to make the email mandatory, like
password and username. Just changing the user model in the Django
folder to:
email = models.EmailField(_('e-mail address'), unique=True)
didn't work at all.
