Getting Started
===============

Model
-----

::

  class UserProfile(models.Model):
      user = models.OneToOneField(User)
      phone = models.CharField(blank=True)

  def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
      """
      See ``UserProfile`` docs (above).
      """
      if created:
          UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

  post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)

Note: I couldn't find a way to update the phone number before creating the user
profile.  For this reason, I allowed ``blank`` fields in the ``UserProfile``
model.

``settings.py``
---------------

::

  AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'dc_common.UserProfile'
