Hi all,
I am following this tutorial ( http://musings.tinbrain.net/blog/2014/sep/21/registration-django-easy-way/) to create a user registration model in Django. I understand that the class UserManager is overwriting the default User model. However, I do not understand this particular part. The official Django Documentation doesn't explain what this means - It merely shows the full code. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/auth/customizing/ Need some clarification as to what's going on here. What is self.model in this example and what does it do? def create_user(self, email, password, **kwargs): user = self.model(email=self.normalize_email(email), is_active=True, **kwargs) user.set_password(password) user.save(using=self._db) return user This is the entire code. > class UserManager(BaseUserManager): > def create_user(self, email, password, **kwargs): > user = self.model(email=self.normalize_email(email), > is_active=True, **kwargs) > user.set_password(password) > user.save(using=self._db) > return user > > def create_superuser(self, email, password, **kwargs): > user = self.model(email=email, is_staff=True, is_superuser=True, > is_active=True, **kwargs) > user.set_password(password) > user.save(using=self._db) > return user > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
