Wow, and it worked first time. This is a first for me. Usually I follow a tutorial, misunderstand the docs for a bit, misunderstand the tutorial, and then stay up until 4am trying to get stuff to work only to give up and get it working within half an hour the following day because I missed some detail.

You are trying to add the field 'date_joined' with 'auto_now_add=True' to account without a default; the database needs something to populate existing rows.

[@fataraz7287]

Please enter the correct username and password for a staff account. Note that both fields may be case-sensitive.

Great job. But bro what about the debug part? you can't skip it like that. how do we correct the code? we need that ginger taste part. Thanks and keep it up!!

[@whoisntwhoisit2126]

Did I miss the part where you dealt with these? Cause mine wont even load server - 3 issues 0 silenced. : (admin.E019) The value of 'filter_horizontal[0]' refers to 'groups', which is not an attribute of 'website.User'. : (admin.E019) The value of 'filter_horizontal[1]' refers to 'user_permissions', which is not an attribute of 'website.User'. : (admin.E116) The value of 'list_filter[3]' refers to 'groups', which does not refer to a Field. Switching to AbstractUser instead of Base seemed to fix it - does that just bring the rest of the previous user model, anything that was not altered, into this user model? Thanks!

[@mhammad50]

thank you I want to add something Instead of implementing the permission methods you could extend PermissionsMixin like this class UserProfile(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):

[@dikshantghimire6037]

@@harshilpatel8525 just add class Account(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin) and that's it. It will handle all the permissions stuff.

[@omparikh4426]

why user = self.model() in manager? why using=self.__db while saving? why you added password=password for create_superuser but used set_password for create_user(), what's the difference and when to use which?

[@lalanet1362]

Great questions, I had exactly the same doubts when watching the video. 1. MyAccountManager inherits from BaseUserManager, which itself inherits from models.Manager class. That Manager class has reference to the model it manages stored in self.model, in our case the model is: class 'Account'. So self.model(email=email, username=username) is same as writing Account(email=email, username=username). 2. 'using' parameter specifies in which database to save given instance. This is useful if you have multiple databases and you need to define which database you need for this operation. self._db is None, so when it becomes user.save(using=None), per Django implementation it will use the 'default' database defined in setting.py. If you want to use another database, pass the name of your database like user.save(using='my_database'). 3. When you need to set a password for the user, you should be using set_password method as it hashes the password which is important. As it was mentioned in the video (14:34), he should have called self.create_user(...) instead of self.model inside create_superuser. When you call self.create_user, it takes three arguments: email, username, password. Now when the method gets executed, it will normally set a password with set_password method like you would expect.

[@datawithheansell]

Thank you for all.

Thank you so much for this video...

[@henrycodingstack6952]

Can you add a relationship field from this user model to another existing model. like for example a bank app .when user who can register with the app must have a bank account with d bank so in that case before signup user must have an already existing acct.so we have Account model and a User model so can a OnetoOneField be in this User model with that Account model ?

[@olayemii]

Hi Mitch, I followed the tutorial, but some how my Add User view still shows just Username, Password and no email. What am i doing wrong please?

[@AdrianGonzalezBlogs]

Has anybody been able to solve this?

[@AdrianGonzalezBlogs]

Update: I was able to solve this by adding this on admin.py inside the AccountAdmin class. fieldsets = ( (None, {'fields': ('email', 'password', 'username')}), ('Permissions', {'fields': ('is_admin', 'is_staff')}), ) add_fieldsets = ( (None, { 'classes': ('wide',), 'fields': ('email', 'username', 'password1', 'password2'), }), ) the reference code is from the django docs: docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/auth/customizing/#a-full-example

I followed the steps here and created this user model. Difference is that I am not using email in the USERNAME_FIELD. Email is not even required for my model. Second, I have more fields that are required such as first and last name and address. My problem is that when I try to create a superuser, it does not give me the other required fields. instead I get a 'TyperError' telling me that 3 positional arguments are missing.

I really wish tab and space were the same damn thing, if tab just put 4 spaces it would solve this happening with several other programs too. I was taught specifically to NEVER use tab with python, always use spaces instead, no idea why. To bad not a true standard on something like that. If only one of them didn't work so the other would be used normally, o well what can you do...
