Django 1.5. Users profile creation - django

Question

I use django 1.5 with custom model MyUser. I want to make users profile page, where he can modify only one field - 'about'.
I tried something like that:
forms.py:
class UserSettingsForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('about')
view.py:
class UserSettings(UpdateView):
form_class = UserSettingsForm
template_name = "user/settings.html"
def get_object(self, queryset=None):
return self.request.user
def get_success_url(self):
return reverse('user_detail', args=[self.request.user.username])
urls:
url(r'^settings/$', UserSettings.as_view(), name='user_settings')
model:
class MyUserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, password=None):
"""
Creates and saves a User with the given email, date of
birth and password.
"""
if not email:
raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')
user = self.model(
email=MyUserManager.normalize_email(email),
# date_of_birth=date_of_birth,
)
user.set_password(password)
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, password):
"""
Creates and saves a superuser with the given email, date of
birth and password.
"""
user = self.create_user(email,
password=password,
#date_of_birth=date_of_birth
)
user.is_admin = True
user.save(using=self._db)
return user
class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser):
email = models.EmailField(
verbose_name='email address',
max_length=255,
unique=True,
db_index=True,
)
last_name=models.CharField(max_length=30)
first_name=models.CharField(max_length=30)
about=models.TextField(blank=True)
objects = MyUserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['last_name','first_name','about']
def get_full_name(self):
# The user is identified by their email address
return self.email
def get_short_name(self):
# The user is identified by their email address
return self.email
def __unicode__(self):
return self.email
def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
"Does the user have a specific permission?"
# Simplest possible answer: Yes, always
return True
def has_module_perms(self, app_label):
"Does the user have permissions to view the app `app_label`?"
# Simplest possible answer: Yes, always
return True
#property
def is_staff(self):
"Is the user a member of staff?"
# Simplest possible answer: All admins are staff
return self.is_admin
But I got error: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: AUTH_USER_MODEL refers to model 'app.MyUser' that has not been installed
How can I make users profile in django 1.5? Thx!

Answer 1

MyUser class should be under the application named 'app' in your settings file in order for the auth framework to pick it.
