Configure default user model

[brylie]

With recent work on a custom user model, we may have forgotten to configure Django to use the custom user model as default when creating new users.

Make sure our User model is configured as the project default (in the base settings).

OpenCiviWiki/project/accounts/models.py

Lines 5 to 11 in 374381b

	class User(AbstractUser):
	"""
	A new custom User model for any functionality needed in the future. Extending AbstractUser
	allows for adding new fields to the user model as needed.
	"""
	class Meta:
	db_table = 'users'

@brylie I'd like to start contributing to this project and want to start off with this issue. Could you elaborate on this: User model is configured as the project default

[shashankks0987]

Also nothing past the login page is developed yet right? Because after my local setup it sends me to /beta

[shashankks0987]

Isn't this what you're looking for

# Custom User model
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.User'

It is already present in settings.py @brylie

Thanks for the clarification @shashankks0987. I'll assign you to this issue and close it since you did the research and found there wasn't any code needed. In any case, this should count as a code contribution even though you didn't need to change anything.

So, the main task becomes to make sure we are using the correct user model in our login/register views #918 Would you consider contributing to issue #918 @shashankks0987?

[shashankks0987]

Alright, you can close this. #918 is already implemented I guess, Is there anything I can take up?

[brylie]

@shashankks0987 try to reproduce/fix the bug report in #918. I think the register and login views are using the wrong user model. I have been able to reproduce the bug.

@shashankks0987 would you be interested in refactoring our accounts code by moving from the api directory into the accounts app and renaming the Account model to Profile? #926
