I suppose the best bet, in an ideal world, world be model inheritance.
As you're probably aware, this is incomplete at the moment, so you
can't really do that. A better solution may be to have a wrapper
model, and have your Buyer/Seller classes create one to one
relationship this extension class. To top things off, one-to-one is
also going to be changing syntax soon.. but I think this is your best
bet for now...
class UserExtension(models.Model):
pass
class Buyer(models.Model):
# Buyer specific profile data here
pass
Then, you could set AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE. To keep your code pretty dry,
you'll probably want to have a "get_data" method in UserExtension:
def get_data(self):
if self.buyer:
return self.buyer
if self.seller:
return self.seller
return None # No profile data
I'm also looking for a nice solution to this, as I'Hope this helps
