I'm looking to add a User to a group only if a field of this User is specified as 'True' once the User is created. Every User that is created would have a 'UserProfile' associated with it. Would this be the correct way to implement such a thing?
models.py:
def add_group(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
sender = UserProfile
if sender.is_in_group:
from django.contrib.auth.models import Group
g = Group.objects.get(name='Some Group')
g.user_set.add(sender)
post_save.connect(add_group, sender=UserProfile)
Thanks in advance!
Another option is using a post_save
signal
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
def add_user_to_public_group(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
"""Post-create user signal that adds the user to everyone group."""
try:
if created:
instance.groups.add(Group.objects.get(pk=settings.PUBLIC_GROUP_ID))
except Group.DoesNotExist:
pass
post_save.connect(add_user_to_public_group, sender=User)
Only trouble you will have is if you use a fixture ... (hence the DoesNotExists .. )
