I have defined a custom user model, which is working fine and all that. However, in a certain view I would like the user to list all registered users, but I can't seem to get that to work. I was hoping to be able to access all users from the template that is used to render the view, but I don't know where to start.
This is what I've got so far - which works when using the original User model, but it doesn't work with my custom one.
class UsersView(TemplateView):
template_name = 'customer/users/users.html'
<h1>Users</h1>
<ul>
{% for user in object_list %}
<li class="user">{{ user }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
url(r'^customer/users/', views.UsersView.as_view(), name='users'),
class CustomUser(AbstractBaseUser):
"""
Abstraction of a user.
first_name - The first name of the user
last_name - The last name of the user
email - The email and username of the user
project - The project that the user is part of
is_active- Determines if the user is active, i.e. is the user "alive"
is_project_admin - Determines if the user has access to the project admin views
is_superuser - Determines if the user has full access to the entire database. Usually not.
This model is used to store information about users.

first_name = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, help_text="The first name of the user.")
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, help_text="The last name of the user.")
email = models.EmailField(
verbose_name='email address',
max_length=255,
unique=True,
help_text="The email and username of the user. Required."
)
project = models.ForeignKey(Project, null=True, blank=True, help_text="The project that this user is part of.", related_name='users')

help_text="Determines whether the user is active or not. ",
verbose_name="active"
)
is_project_admin = models.BooleanField(

verbose_name="project admin"
)
is_superuser = models.BooleanField(
default=False,
help_text="CAUTION - enabling this gives the user full admin access and access to the entire database. Only for ArcCore admins.",
verbose_name="superuser"
)
objects = MyUserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
class Meta:
verbose_name = 'user'
verbose_name_plural = 'users'
def get_full_name(self):
#If the full name is not specified, return email
if self.first_name == "" and self.last_name == "":
return self.email
else:
return self.first_name + " " + self.last_name

return self.first_name

return self.email

"Does the user have a specific permission?"
return True
def has_module_perms(self, app_label):
"Does the user have permissions to view the app `app_label`?"
return True
@property
def is_staff(self):
"Is the user a superuser?"
return self.is_superuser
Please disregard any bad code in models.py, since I am new to both Python and Django and I haven't started refactoring yet.
Does anyone know how to list all my users in the tempate?
Thanks in advance!
try with the below view function
class UsersView(TemplateView):
template_name = 'customer/users/users.html'
def get_context_data(self,**kwargs):
context = super(UsersView,self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['object_list'] = CustomUser.objects.all()
return context
