Manager isn't available; User has been swapped for 'pet.Person'

Question

I\'m been using the default user model in django for quite a abit and I realize , if I need to further enhance it , I would have to create my own custom User Model in django

Answer 1

For anyone else who might come across this problem, I also solved it by simply doing this on forms.py:

add this at the top of the forms.py file

from .models import YourCustomUser

and then add this to your forms.py CustomUser form:

class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):
#profile_year        = blaaa blaa blaaa irrelevant.. You have your own stuff here don't worry about it

   # here is the important part.. add a class Meta-
   class Meta:
      model = YourCustomUser #this is the "YourCustomUser" that you imported at the top of the file  
      fields = ('username', 'password1', 'password2', #etc etc, other fields you want displayed on the form)

BIG NOTES, ATTENTION:

1. This code worked for my case. I have a view for signing users up, I had a problem here and I solved it, I haven't tried it for logging in users.

2. The include = () part is required, or you can add exclude = (), but you have to have one
