I am working on the project using django 1.9.
I need to add a field to the user model 'Auth_user' table, the field which i want can be another primary key and act here as foreign key in the 'auth_user'.
I searched a lot but fails. Can any buddy provide me some example how to achieve this like how to to add fields to 'auth_user'
You can substitute the user model entirely as described in doc. Here is an example:
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyUser'
to your settings.py, and add following to your model:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
class MyUser(AbstractUser):
another_object = models.ForeignKey(OtherModel..
just make a new moel with a user foreign key
class Post (models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=80)
slug= models.SlugField(unique=True)
content = models.TextField()
user_creator = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
there you can use as primary key the id of the post, or the slug (unique), and it can be linked to a user, if you need one to one relationship see this or many to many relationship see this
Maybe you just need to extend de model user
