user inheritance in django
- by amateur
Hi guys,
I saw a couple of ways extending user information of users and decided to adopt the model inheritance method.
for instance, I have :
class Parent(User):
contact_means = models.IntegerField()
is_staff = False
objects = userManager()
Now it is done, I've downloaded django_registration to help me out with sending emails to new users. The thing is, instead of using registration forms to register new user, I want to to invoke the email sending/acitvation capability of django_registration. So my workflow is:
1. add new Parent object in admin page.
2. send email
My problem is, the django-registration creates a new registration profile together with a new user in the user table. how do I tweak this such that I am able to add the user entry into the custom user table.
I have tried to create a
modelAdmin
and alter the save_model method to launch the create_inactive_user from django_registration, however I do not how to save the user object generated from django_registration into my Parent table when I have using model inheritance and I do not have a Foreign key attribute in my parent model.
