Re: django1.5 subclass AbstractUser, How to get a password-(re)set field in admin

Hi Russel,

I have followed https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#a-full-example then added: 

password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField(label=_("Password"),

        help_text=_("Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see "

                    "this user's password, but you can change the password "

                    "using <a href=\"password/\">this form</a>."), widget=ReadOnlyPasswordHashWidget()) 

From what I seen in django/contrib/auth/forms UserChangeForm this gives me the change password URL however I get the error: 'CustUser' object has no attribute 'username' looking at the error line 136

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/admin.py in user_change_password

1.             'title': _('Change password: %s') % escape(user.username), 

It looks like this is either a bug or doesn't work with a custom user as planed as it looks for a username even though in the example you set the email to username field with: USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'

Am I missing something?

Regards,

Bruce

Hi again,

I have a subclass from AbstractUser

1 from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
2 from django.conf import settings
3
4 class cpUser(AbstractUser):
5     twitter = models.CharField(max_length=100)
6     def __unicode__(self):
7         return self.username

and
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'account.cpUser'
in my settings.py set.

How do i get a password field to set and reset
a password in my admin app?
Adding the password field to admin.py does obviously not
work as it enters plain text and not the hashed password.

1 from django.contrib import admin
2 class cpUserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
3    fields = ['twitter','username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'password',]
4                                                                ~~~~~~~~
5 admin.site.register(cpUser, cpUserAdmin)


Do i have to set a passwort field to the models.py or
can i geht that from the models which i "abstracted" from
(as done with username, first_name, last_name...)

You need to follow the instructions that are in the documentation.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#custom-users-and-django-contrib-admin

The key is that you can't just subclass admin.ModelAdmin -- you need to subclass the existing Django admin class for Users (django.contrib.auth.admin.UserAdmin) - that base class is what provides all the special password handling etc for User models.
