User Profile minimal code
Usually I start an authentication app with this model. Don't forget to set it up in the settings file AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'authentication.UserProfile'

Snippet List
Combine ProfileForm an UserForm in one.
Using this method you can combine form for standart django.contrib.auth.models.User model and for your project profile model. As now, ProfileForm can be used as usual, and it will also contain UserForm fields.

- profile
Password Validation - Require Letters and Numbers - no regex
Simple password validation for user registration - requires that password be 7 or more characters and contain both letters and numbers. Original validation with regex approach developed by kurtis. Optimized no-regex version based on code from watchedman ran as fast or significantly faster on all systems on which we tested it.

another UserForeignKey
This is another foreign key to User model. User is automatically associated before save. Requires: [ThreadlocalsMiddleware](http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookThreadlocalsAndUser) Inspired by: [snippet 509](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/509/)

Alternative to User.get_profile()
**This is an alternative to User.get_profile.** Rather than having you call `User.get_profile` directly, this retrieves the profile instance for a `User` and attaches the fields from the profile to the `User` object when instantiated. The special methods for `DateField`, `FileField`, `ImageField` and fields with `choices` are also created. Since the profile object still has to be retrieved from the database before its fields can be added to the `User`, the costs for using this might outweigh the rewards unless you are heavily using profiles. To install, place it in a module on your `PYTHONPATH` and add it to `INSTALLED_APPS`.

User groups template tag
This tag builds on top of the [ifusergroup/else tag](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/390/), fixes a small bug and introduces support for else blocks. This adds a way to provide multiple groups via group1|group2|group3

UsernameField (for clean error messages)
This is a username field that matches (and slightly tightens) the constraints on usernames in Django's `User` model. Most people use RegexField, which is totally fine -- but it can't provide the fine-grained and user friendly messages that come from this field.

User from session key
This blog post outlined how to get the user from the session key: http://scottbarnham.com/blog/2008/12/04/get-user-from-session-key-in-django/ Unfortunately, it assumes DB-backed session and auth backends. This isn't required, so this snippet provides a backend-agnostic way to do the same thing. >>> skey = 'ea0ed02d35d43aeaf20b3ef516f51396' >>> user_from_session_key(skey) <User: jeremyd>

LDAP to Django Synchronization
I needed to be able to synchronize my LDAP users and groups to the Django database. This may not be as efficient as some might like but it works like a charm. It returns a list of messages that I pipe into request.user.messages in my template.

User post_save signal to auto create 'admin' profile
**How to use:** 1. puts this code at the end of the `models.py` file who haves the User Profile class declared; 2. verify if your User Profile class has the name 'UserProfile'. If not, change the code to the right name. **About:** this snippet makes the ORM create a profile each time an user is created (or updated, if the user profile lost), including 'admin' user.

Auto-create Django admin user during syncdb
This avoids the frustrating step of having to set up a new admin user every time you re-initialize your database. Put this in any `models` module. In this example I use `common.models`. Adapted from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1466827/

User groups template tag with "else" block support (Allow checking several groups)
An "if-style" template tag that checks to see if a user belongs to a one or mores groups (by name). Usage: `{% ifusergroup Admins %} ... {% endifusergroup %} or {% ifusergroup Admins Clients Programmers Managers %} ... {% else %} ... {% endifusergroup %}`

User activation codes without additional database tables or fields
UserAuthCode generates an authentication code for Django user objects. This code can be used to verify the user's email address and to activate his account. Unlike other solutions there's no need add any tables or fields to your database. Current version is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/badzong/django-userauthcode). There's also an example how to use it in your Django project.

Little middleware that create a facebook user
**How to use**: 1. Install [**PyFacebook** package](http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/PythonPyFacebookTutorial). 2. After make all steps in tutorial above, put this code in your app's models.py module (you maybe prefer split it and put the middleware class in some other file). 3. Put the FacebookUserMiddleware python-path in the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in your settings.py (after facebook.djangofb.FacebookMiddleware). You probably will add some fields to FacebookUser model class :)
