Fix user manager operation for user saving

[manhinli]

We have specific procedures when saving users which are not adhered to in admin forms because they use our custom form myrg_users.forms.RobogalsUserCreationForm.

Attempt to use the existing user validation/correction method under myrg_users.models.RobogalsUserManager

This affects the REST API as well.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10574218/creating-an-add-user-form-in-django problem:

user = super(RobogalsUserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False) # form checks is involved
vs
user = RobogalsUser.objects.create_user(**self.cleaned_data) # manager check is involved

what about using both:

user = super(RobogalsUserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False)
user = RobogalsUser.objects.create_user(**user.__dict__)

settings.py: where is

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'myrg_users.models.RobogalsUser'

Could you fork and add your code as appropriate? Because I need to see how this fits in.

Approach 1:

clean_<field>() # add the individual field cleaner

Approach 2

clean() # over ride the original cleaner and add extra manager checks in addition to the original form checks

How to avoid the problem of: changing in multiple places?

As I said before, can you implement at least one to show how you would do it?
