I am trying to install django-registration-redux with a customUser.

I have included this in my settings.py:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'app.customUser'

Registration Form is in a directory ../registration/forms.py:

from __future__ import unicode_literals


from django import forms
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

from .users import UserModel, UsernameField

User = UserModel()


class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):

    required_css_class = 'required'
    email = forms.EmailField(label=_("E-mail"))

    class Meta:
        model = customUser
        fields = ('email')

Additionally, models.py has the following:

from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

import datetime
import hashlib
import random
import re

from django.conf import settings
from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
from django.db import models
from django.template import RequestContext, TemplateDoesNotExist
from django.template.loader import render_to_string
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
from django.utils.encoding import python_2_unicode_compatible
from django.utils.timezone import now as datetime_now
from django.utils import six

from .users import UserModel, UserModelString


from django.contrib.auth.models import BaseUserManager, AbstractBaseUser
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin


class customUserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email, password=None):
        """
        Creates and saves a User with the given email, date of
    birth and password.
        """
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')

        user = self.model(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
        )

        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, password):
        """
        Creates and saves a superuser with the given email, date of
    birth and password.
        """
        user = self.create_user(email,
            password=password,
        )
        user.is_active = True
        user.is_admin = True
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

class customUser(AbstractBaseUser):
    email = models.EmailField(verbose_name='email address', max_length=255, unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True)
    middle_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, null=True)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    objects = customUserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'


class customUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
    # The forms to add and change user instances
    #form = UserChangeForm
    #add_form = RegisterationForm

class RegistrationManager(models.Manager):
    """
    """

Here is the Traceback:

django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Models aren't loaded yet.

If I remove the () in get_user_model in my users.py, I get this error:

users.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

UserModel = get_user_model

def UserModelString():
    try:
        return settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL
    except AttributeError:
        return 'auth.User'


def UsernameField():
    return getattr(UserModel(), 'USERNAME_FIELD', 'email')

Error:

where did you define RegistrationForm? Show us app/sites/models.py.Impostor
Here it is: let me know what else you need.Oddball

Here is the documentation of get_user_model function that might help.

Generally speaking, you should reference the User model with the AUTH_USER_MODEL setting in code that is executed at import time. get_user_model() only works once Django has imported all models.

The problem is in file ../registration/forms.py:

User = UserModel()

UserModel is executing in import time, which is wrong and throws the exception 'Models aren't loaded yet'. Use UserModel() directly inside your form methods/functions where it needed. Look at a few examples here.

Hope this helps.

As of Django 1.11, "The ability to call get_user_model() at import time was added."Revise
