python - Make `createsuperuser` work with custom / non-trivial user model -

in "create super user" step of python manage.py syncdb, i'd able specify

1. e-mail
2. password
3. first name
4. middle name (blank acceptable)
5. last name
6. phone

my "user model" is:

class account(auth_models.abstractbaseuser):     email       = models.emailfield(unique = true, db_index = true)     created_on  = models.datefield(auto_now_add = true)     person      = models.foreignkey(person)     def get_full_name(self):         ...     def get_short_name(self):         ...     objects = accountmanager()     username_field = 'email'     required_fields = [] 

and person model is:

class person(models.model):     name         = models.charfield(max_length = 256)     is_staff     = models.booleanfield(default = false)     phone        = models.charfield(max_length = 16, blank = true) 

my custom account "manager" naturally needs have these informations, did was:

def create_user(self, email, password, name, phone):     normalized_email = self.normalize_email(email)     person = person(         name = name,         phone = phone     )     person.save()     account = account(email = normalized_email, person = person)     account.set_password(password)     account.save()     return account 

at creation of course asks me email , password while ignoring person model needs populated.

how can make 6 fields required in "create super user" step?

_{to going question idea of having account , person separated: single person can have multiple accounts associated it; it's called "one-to-many relationship" between person , account; it's legal, check lawyer.}

i tried go adding person required_fields that, specified in documentation:

since there no way pass model instances during createsuperuser prompt, expect user enter value of to_field value (the primary_key default) of existing instance.

requires person id don't have (i need create person first).

specifying:

required_fields = ['person.name', ...] 

is not supported (the error says person.name not field of account).

you need method called create_superuser() should this:

def create_superuser(self, email, password, name, phone): user = self.create_user( email=email, password=password, name = name, phone = phone ) user.save(using=self._db) return user

this way required_fields = ['person'] works me.
