This is just a reusable convenience parent class to allow you to create and administer an automatic user profile class using the following code:
class UserProfile(UserProfileModel):
likes_kittens = models.BooleanField(default=True)
Whenever a User
object is created, a corresponding UserProfile
will also be created. That's it.
NB: You will still need to set AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE
in your settings :-)
(PS: It would also be nice to have the resulting class proxy the User
object's attributes like django's model inheritance does, while still automatically creating a UserProfile
object when a User
object is created :-)
