python - Creating a new instance of a Custom User Model in Django -

i have model extension of user model in django 1.8. connecting mysql database this.

class libraryuser(models.model):   user_id = models.onetoonefield(user)   is_catalogue_subscriber = models.booleanfield(default=true)   is_research_subscriber = models.booleanfield(default=true)   library_membership_number = models.charfield(max_length=64) 

the reason why extended user model, of course use authentication framework.

so now, want create new libraryuser using library_membership_number login username. how should so? create user first reference libraryuser?

ie given some_ variables either received post or migration of users new table

u = user.objects.create_user(email=some_email, password=some_password) lu = libraryuser(library_membership_number, user_id = u.id) lu.save() 

or there correct way this? tried finding online can't find particularly address problem.

you should assign value specify fields following:

lu = libraryuser(library_membership_number= '...', user_id = user) lu.save() 

• library_membership_number

  you can't assign variable library_membership_number. model object containing fields. should appoint field , assign it: library_membership_number= '...', or model can't parse field store.

• user_id

  it has defined foreignkey in advance. can accept model object store: user_id = user. don't call attribute of user store in libraryuser.
