That can be done[1]:
These profile models are not special in any way - they are just Django models
that
happen to have a one-to-one link with a user model. As such, they aren’t auto
created
when a user is created, but a django.db.models.signals.post_save[2] could be
used to
create or update related models as appropriate.
Here's a mixin I use (lots of models have a unique 'name' attribute in this
project)
which also defines a handy permalink. As you can see, the field is not even
editable
(so won't show in the admin), yet for each saved model a slug is generated as
the field
is required (blank is not set and defaults to false).
*class SlugMixin(*models.Model*): *slug *= *AutoSlugField*(
*populate_from*='name'*, unique*=True*, editable*=False*, *)
*_detail_view_name *= None
@models.permalink def get_absolute_url(*self*): *model_name *=
*self._meta.object_name.lower*() *viewname *= *self._detail_view_name
*or
'{}_detail'*.format*(*model_name*) return *viewname,
[*/str/(*self.slug*)*]
absolute_url *= /property/(*get_absolute_url, doc*="Permalink")
class Meta: *abstract *= True
