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)
