So I have just had a try with a new written UserManager and it works.
My model looks the following way now:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, UserManager
import datetime
class NewUserManager(models.Manager):
def create_user(self, username, email, password, extradata):
"""Creates and saves a User with the given username,
e-mail and
password.
The extradata dictionary set as attributes to the
model"""
now = datetime.datetime.now()
user = self.model(None, username, '', '',
email.strip().lower(),
'placeholder', False, True, False, now, now)
user.set_password(password)
# username email and password do not have to be saved
again
del extradata['username']
del extradata['email']
del extradata['password']
for key in extradata:
setattr(user, key, extradata[key])
user.save()
return user
class CustomUserData(User):
# New Extra Data being saved with every User
city = models.CharField(max_length = 255)
[...]
# Use UserManager to get the create_user method, etc.
objects = NewUserManager()
and the save() changed to
def save(self):
CustomUserData.objects.create_user(
username=self.cleaned_data['username'],
email=self.cleaned_data['email'],
password=self.cleaned_data['password'],
extradata=self.cleaned_data)
So this looks pretty nice to me. Anyone having another suggestion?
