Re: Right way to create proxy to User model in Django 1.7

Thank you for your answer.

I corrected my code how you said: MyUser class inherits now directly from auth.models.User and in settings I set AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myapp.MyUser' and I got another error: 

TypeError: MyUser cannot proxy the swapped model 'myapp.MyUser'.

I found this problem on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25144423/django-proxy-user-model-example) with one answer from you and tried to apply you suggestion: inherited from auth.models.AbstractUser instead of auth.models.User, but in this case I receive another error:

AttributeError: type object 'MyUser' has no attribute '_base_manager'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

    Izabella

Hi!

Could you, please, help me to find the right way to create proxy to User
model in Django 1.7?

In 'myapp.models.py' I have a MyUser class which should inherit from the
user model specified in settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL:

If I am using the get_user_model() method, I receive the
'django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Models aren't loaded yet.'
exception

class MyUser(get_user_model()):
     class Meta:
         proxy = True

     def my_method(self):
        return 'hello'

And if I replace the get_user_model() method with
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, I receive another exception: TypeError: Error
when calling the metaclass bases
     str() takes at most 1 argument (3 given)

In settings.py I have: AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'auth.User'

Thanks in advance!

This doesn't make sense. AUTH_USER_MODEL should be set to your MyUser class, which in turn should inherit directly from auth.models.User.
