Add this near your CustomUser class in models.py:

def create_custom_user(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
	if created:
		new_user = CustomUser(user_ptr_id=instance.id)
		new_user.__dict__.update(instance.__dict__)
		new_user.save()
post_save.connect(create_custom_user, sender=User)

Whenever a user is created it will also create an entry in the CustomUser table of the database.

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.set_password(self.password)
    super(CustomUser, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#overriding-model-methods

class PublicProfile(User):
    sex = models.CharField(max_length=100,choices=settings.SEX_CHOICES,
verbose_name='sex')
    phone_num = models.IntegerField(verbose_name='phone number')
    id_num = models.IntegerField(verbose_name='id number')
    age = models.DateField(verbose_name='date of birth')
    occupation = models.CharField(max_length= 20,
verbose_name='occupation')
    picture = models.ImageField(upload_to ='user_profile_images',
verbose_name='user photo')

    objects = UserManager()

but i can add users in the admin site.

Any ideas?

class Customer(User):
organization = models.CharField(max_length=80, unique = True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=80)
.
..
objects = UserManager()

If in the admin.py, model Customer is registered, on execution, we get the user creation form, with password after saving it, we exit from the module. We are able to see that the user exists in the django Auth, even if the Customer is not yet created. How do I override the save of the User class. Also I need to create other users for the application the normal way. Please suggest

However you need to mix all three approaches to solve the problems in any one of them.
Would be great if this post was updated (or a new post replacing it) to reflect the best way to do all of this… (IMHO)
Thanks Scott for getting this started… Please consider doing an update and straighteneing all the wiggles out…

thanks in advance for any help. I am really stuck!!!
