Django 1.6.x Support? / Custom User Model?

[cemkozinoglu]

Hey Guys,

Does AskBot planning to support Django Custom User Models?

Also anyone tried to make it work with Django 1.6.x?

Cheers, Cem

+1 for this The ability to integrate a custom user model would be really helpful.

I have implemented Custom User Model support in my forked version at https://github.com/vinodpandey/askbot-devel . The custom user project that I used for testing is at https://github.com/vinodpandey/django-test-site. The only third party dependency that I needed to modify was django-followit. I have updated django-followit (https://github.com/vinodpandey/django-followit) and sent a pull request to @evgenyfadeev . I am yet to run some tests to verify if I have not broken any backward compatibility. I have updated README with rough notes on how to set this up. One caveat for now is the hardcoding of custom auth model in https://github.com/vinodpandey/askbot-devel/blob/master/askbot/models/user.py Line 386 db_table = 'django_custom_auth_user_groups'

https://www.djangoproject.com/download/ - django 1.5 (and also 1.6) is out of support, btw.

So this issue should be upgraded to add Django 1.8 support.
