Description

Following the forum discussion here, add a Profile How-To showing best practices for a profile model related to the User model.

  • Show a best-practice model — with decent name fields.
  • Be clear to tell folks that the existing first_name/last_name fields are outdated (at best) and say it’s OK to just ignore them.
  • Show creating the profile instance — with a signal, inline, or using get_or_create()
  • Give an introduction to template fragment caching.
