Getting Started

Model

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    phone = models.CharField(blank=True)

def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    """
    See ``UserProfile`` docs (above).
    """
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)

Note: I couldn’t find a way to update the phone number before creating the user profile. For this reason, I allowed blank fields in the UserProfile model.

settings.py

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'dc_common.UserProfile'
