The admin interface does not currently support inheritance; support is planned in newforms-admin, slated to merge to trunk within the next couple of months. In the meantime, subclassing User to add fields offers no performance advantage whatsoever over using a related model, because the subclassing is implemented under the hood as a related table with a foreign key back to the parent class. In many cases it also offers little conceptual advantage, because the great majority of things people typically do with user profiles have little or nothing to do with user authentication. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
