Alternative user models for django >= 1.5, with email field and other features

Project description

INSTALL

Put altuser in INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS += (
    'altuser',
    )

and configure your preferred user model from available altuser/models.py, for example

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'altuser.MailSocialUser'

Available models

  • MailUser

  • MailSocialUser

  • MailConfirmedUser

  • MailConfirmedSocialUser

  • MailSocialConfirmfollowUser

  • MailConfirmedSocialConfirmfollowUser

USAGE

OneToOne

If you use this User model with another Profile model you should put this field on you Profile model

user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
                           related_name='profile')

If you have multiple profile types, you should use User.get_profile() to get the right profile associated with this user, but you also must set

ALTUSER_PROFILES_BREL = ['profile']

to a list of backward relation names (relate_name), of various profiles you have. For example if you have two models, client and managers, associated with a OneToOneField to our user model, and they have different related_name, one client_profile and the other manager_profile, then ALTUSER_PROFILES_BREL must be [‘client_profile’, ‘manager_profile’]

GenericRelation

Actually you can also use the internal profile_type generic relation on the provided AbstractMailUser, that will permit you to coerce one profile type per user, it is up to you if using that or not.

# used in this way: self.user.get().usermodelfield
user = generic.GenericRelation(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
content_type_field='profile_type',
object_id_field='profile_id')

Generic relations in this way permits to have your user and profile in the same inline and for example in the admin:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MannequineProfile
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic

class UserInline(generic.GenericTabularInline):
    model=get_user_model()
    extra=1
    max_num=1
ct_field = 'profile_type'
ct_fk_field = 'profile_id'
exclude = ('last_login', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser',
        'groups', 'user_permissions' ,'likes',
        'follows')


class ProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
    UserInline,
    ]


admin.site.register(Profile, ProfileAdmin)

Note also, that if you delete an object that has a GenericRelation, any objects which have a GenericForeignKey pointing at it will be deleted as well. In the example above, this means that if a Profile object were deleted, any user objects pointing at it would be deleted at the same time.

Confirmed Models

for using the mail confirmed models you must use [django-mail_confirmation](http://v.licheni.net/drc/django-mail_confirmation.git)

to filter out users that has confirmed social relations you do something like this:

get_user_model().objects.filter(id=user.id, follows=otheruser, relations__confirmed__confirmed=True)
