I am virtually copying EmailUser, but just adding a field:

class CustomUser(AbstractEmailUser):
    """
    Subclass EmailUser to add the last_seen date.
    """
    last_seen = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)

    class Meta(AbstractEmailUser.Meta):
        swappable = 'AUTH_USER_MODEL'

If I syncdb to a blank DB with AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'custom_user.EmailUser' then I am prompted for superuser no problem. But with my custom model above, no such luck. Thanks for any advice.

EDIT: I know I can call createsuperuser but I'd like to understand what I'm missing :)

Since this app is sort of generic (for newbies who just needs plug and play integration) @jonathanchu why not add test cases for the custom user model. Your take?

When I run python manage.py createsuperuser, I got the following error:

ERRORS:
myapp.CustomUser.is_superuser: (models.E006) The field 'is_superuser' clash
es with the field 'is_superuser' from model 'myapp.customuser'.

Hey @jonathanchu I was thinking to include a more extensible example to support/show different types of users. E.g can be Account Manager, Employee and Blah blah user :P

I'm getting:
ImportError: cannot import name MAXIMUM_PASSWORD_LENGTH

from django.contrib.auth.hashers import MAXIMUM_PASSWORD_LENGTH
in your forms.py

Indeed, that variable does not seem to be defined.
