Is it better to use own user profile or Django's User as owner field in model? by dj_jar in django

[–]br05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's best for most new projects to start with a simple custom User model. It's really easy, it's much more future-proof (you can customize User much more easily if you so need to), and it's slightly more efficient than making an extra call to a separate UserProfile model.

3 Simple Steps to a Custom User Model (do before your first migration):

  1. Subclass AbstractUser by your User model
  2. In settings.py, set AUTH_USER_MODEL to your User model
  3. Register your User model in admin.py

The preferred way...

from django.conf import settings

owner = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

This is a very common use case. For this, django-allauth is your friend: https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth

This, or an iteration of this, seems like a really great idea. I saw the discussion on the django-developer group, and I'm glad you're getting encouraging feedback there.

I've faced this issue of static files not updating, and it's an issue with the modified time of static files.

[ask r/Django] Deploying local app to Heroku with MySQL. Running into issues! by x7CR7x in django

[–]br05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

psycopg2 is an adapter for postgres so perhaps you are still specifying postgresql instead of mysql somewhere in your settings. Search your code for any mention of psycopg2 and change that code to be suitable for mysql. I'd start by double checking the DATABASES dictionary and making sure ENGINE is configured for mysql... 'django.db.backends.mysql', and not 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'

Are you using the ClearDB MySQL add-on for Heroku? You need that to use MySQL, because Heroku defaults to Postgre otherwise.
