Combining User and UserProfile in the admin

Question

I have been reading up on Django\'s separation of Users and Profiles, and I have decided to go with a model called UserProfile that is located in an Accounts app as my Profile.

Answer 1

You can do this by using inline admin models

before writing your custom User admin you have to unregister the already registered User admin

admin.site.unregister(User)

define the Inline UserProfile

class UserProfileInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = UserProfile

and use the inline in the User admin

class UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [UserProfileInline]
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)
