def __str__(self):
    return self.title;
class MyUserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, username, email, password=None):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('Users must have an email address')
        if not username:
            raise ValueError('Users must have a username')

        user = self.model(
            username = username,
            email    = self.normalize_email(email),
        )
        user.is_active  = True
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, username, email, password):
        user = self.create_user(username=username,email=email, password=password)

        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_superuser = True
        user.save(using=self._db)

  ERRORS:
kerajinan.Product.author: (fields.E300) Field defines a relation with model 'settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL', which is either not installed, or is abstract.

can you help me solve this error?

Answer 1

You use the lowercase l in the setting name. Python variables are case-sensitive so change it to uppercase L:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'kerajinan.UserProfile'

UPDATE: To create relation to custom user model you should remove the quotes in the FK definition:

author = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
