get_profile / get_model issue, capitalisation of AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE

[anonymous]

The docs lead one to expect that given an app name Profile, a AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting of profile.modelname would work, but Profile.modelname is actually correct.

​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#auth-profiles claims that AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE is "The (normalized to lower-case) name of the application in which the user profile model is defined (in other words, an all-lowercase version of the name which was passed to manage.py startapp to create the application)."

This is wrong; the app_label part is the a python module, and hence case-sensitive.

[trimmed excessive explanation; this is actually a very simple doc fix]

[Peter Bengtsson]

Check how it works. Conclusion:

1. the name of the application is case sensitive

2. the name of the model is case insensitive

I've attached a patch to auth.txt and also concluded that the text in chapter 12 of the book is fine and doesn't need to be updated.

It's not fixed until the patch is committed to the code base.
