My problem was that I needed user names with fullstops in them (eg dodgy.ville), but the slugfield on the admin form was rejecting them. This small snippet overrides the validation field on the admin form,
To use it: place it in your admin.py
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django import forms
class EzyUserAdminForm(ModelForm):
""" Override the admin page for user to allow non-slug login names """
username = forms.CharField()
class Meta:
model = User
class EzyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
form = EzyUserAdminForm
admin.site.unregister(User) #deregister the old user admin
admin.site.register(User, EzyUserAdmin) #register our new form
