Scaffold or django-admin without Auth app

Question

I created my own Auth app, and now Admin is not working, what can you suggest?

Exception now is: 'User' object has no attribute 'is_authenticated'

I know my User really have no such method. So I have 2 ways: - change admin - adapt my user system

My question was: is there possibility to easily off admin bound to auth

Answer 1

See the file django/contrib/admin/views/decorators.py:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login

These are used in decorator staff_member_required which guards access to admin application.

Admin application requires django.contrib.auth - you might try to monkeypatch it, but it's a bad habit (Django is not RoR, Python is not Ruby).
