Welcome to django-easy-profiles!¶

This is a project of all sorts of handy Django profile tricks. Not all are yet extendable, and I’m working the documentation, but the goal is for this to become the go-to place for building profile apps.

Getting started¶

This document will explain how django-easy-profiles into your project. django-easy-maps tries to be as unobtrusive as possible, so you should be able to add or remove components of this app with minimal difficulty.

Prerequisites¶

django-easy-profiles has been tested with the following:

Python 2.6.x and Python 2.7.x

Django 1.3.x

Installation¶

First fetch the package from PyPI:

pip install django-easy-profiles

Add django-easy-profiles to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "easy_profiles",
]

Wire django-easy-profiles into your URLconf:

urlpatterns = patterns("",
    # ...
    url(r"^profiles/", include("easy_profiles.urls"))
)

From the command line, create a custom profiles app:

$ django-admin.py startapp profiles

Copy the following into your profiles/models.py file:

from easy_profiles.models import ProfileBase
class Profile(ProfileBase):

    # first_name, last_name, middle_name, email, is_active already provided
    # Your custom fields added here

You’ll need to connect your profiles Model into settings.py:

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = "profiles.Profile"
