Comment:
I keep encountering the same problem as per this original ticket.
Subclassing from UserAdmin doesn't itself fix it.
My code is:
models.py:
{{{
class Player( User ):
# Other stuff snipped
objects = UserManager()
}}}
Using Django 1.1 (or 1.02)
If I just do this, then the change_password link is broken as described.
If I then set the admin
admin.py:
{{{
class PlayerAdmin( UserAdmin ):
pass
admin.site.register(Player, PlayerAdmin )
}}}
Then at this point adding a Player in the admin interface just creates a
User when added, and shows an error of:
http://localhost:8000/admin/website/player/4/
To get it to work I need to extend admin.py to do a minimum of:
{{{
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.utils.translation import ugettext, ugettext_lazy as _
class PlayerAddForm( UserCreationForm ):
class Meta:
model = Player
fields = ("username","first_name", "last_name" )
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
return super(PlayerAddForm,self).__init__( *args,
**kwargs)
class PlayerAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Player
password = forms.CharField( help_text=_("Use
'[algo]$[salt]$[hexdigest]' or use the <a href=\"password/\">change
password form</a>."))
class PlayerAdmin( UserAdmin ):
form = PlayerAdminForm
add_form = PlayerAddForm
admin.site.register(Player, PlayerAdmin )
}}}
The fact that this is undocumented and it's taken me a while to figure it
out is to me a bug in itself.
If the 'correct' thing to do now is to extend the Auth.User class (rather
than user user_profile), then I also think this should be made easier in
some way as it's less than obvious and lacks the djangoesque simplicity.
