I have a custom user based on AbstractUser plus a UserProfile model as
follows:
#common.models
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, Group, UserManager
from django.db import models
from django.utils.encoding import python_2_unicode_compatible
@python_2_unicode_compatible
class User(AbstractUser):
objects = UserManager()
class Meta:
abstract = False
Dumb question. I'm assuming you've set AUTH_USER_MODEL to use your new user
model?
Also, the Django contrib user model has a meta option for swappable,
perhaps you need to set that since you are overriding the Meta class?
class Meta:
abstract = False
swappable = True
Your Meta could also inherit from AbstractUser.Meta. Or better yet, since
abstract = False by default, just remove the entire Meta class and let the
defaults reign.
I have seen several tickets where the devs are playing with this option,
calling it a 'stealth new feature' and leaving it undocumented
intentionally, but it has something to do with changing out the user model
on existing projects.
