Hi,
I have a project where I need to extend django's User. The way I did this
initially (without Mezzanine) was to subclass Model into a custom Profile
which had a one-to-one Field to django's User. Aditionally, to guarantee
that each user always has a Profile, I created in my app a receiver that
would listen to the user_registered signal. Whenever it was triggered I
would just do inside the receiver:
user = kwargs.get('user')
profile = Profile(user=user)
profile.save()
Now with Mezzanine a settings exist called AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE which I just
set equal to 'myapp.Profile' and Mezzanine does the Profile creation for
me. There are two issues though:
a) On my webapp, every time I access my profile page, I'm getting this:
myapp/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mezzanine/accounts/templatetags/accounts_tags.py:70:
DeprecationWarning: The use of AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE to define user profiles
has been deprecated.
profile = user.get_profile()
Indeed, AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE used to exist in django but was deprecated.
What should I do? Do I ignore the warning since it's Mezzanine, not django,
who's using AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE? Or does Mezzanine have a different way to
handle profiles now?
b) On my receiver which I had without Mezzanine, I did more things. For
example, I initiated Profile vars depending on some environment vars. How
can I still do those custom things with Mezzanine? My old receiver isn't
working anymore.
Thanks for any help
