Integrate Spirit user profile to your existing project.

Project description

# Spirit-User-Profile

Integrates Spirit user profile to your existing Django user model.

## What this does?

This will insert some fields in your existing User Table that Spirit requires to work properly.

## How?

I followed this [guide](http://django-authtools.readthedocs.org/en/latest/how-to/migrate-to-a-custom-user-model.html). If you don’t want to have yet another installed app (this one), you can follow that guide yourself. Since I created all the migrations for you, you just need to run some commands and you are done.

## Why?

The old way of joining with a profile table is going away in Django 1.7. This is not true, actually, the old get_profile() is going away. This is for a good reason, let’s say you have 4 third-party apps, all using profiles, it would require 4 extra joins to get all the user data.

Would not be easier/better to have all the fields in the same table?
