Multiple user models in Django inherited from AbstractBaseUser
I have a "legacy" database with different tables for different user types (admins and customers). They have nothing in common. I need to implement both models in the Django project, users need to log in to the client pages, admins to the admin pages (not django admin). How to solve this deal? Basically, I have an idea to run two application instances with different config values AUTH_USER_MODEL but it looks not the best idea. Thanks in advance. -

For example, the page example.com/biology/page1, has biology as a parent. When the user is on that page, the table of contents should show only the pages that have biology as a parent. -

Django Unique on ManyToManyField
I'm trying to create a private messaging system between users. I created two models. One is "Message" which contains messages and another one is "Conversation" which contains messages just between two users. I want to head off create duplicate conversations. For example i created a conversation between user1 and user2 and this conversation's ID is "5" then i created another one conversation again between user1 and user2 and it's ID is "6". That's bad for me. There must just one conversation between same users.

ViewSet and additional retrieve URL
I have a django model that I expose as a ViewSet.

Get model field values from FK related objects
I've got a structure of FK related objects that looks somewhat like that: class Object3(models.Model): ... requirement = models.ManyToManyField(Requirement, blank=True) class Object2(models.Model): ... parent = models.ForeignKey(Object3, on_delete=models.CASCADE) requirement = models.ManyToManyField(Requirement, blank=True) class Object1(models.Model): ... parent = models.ForeignKey(Object2, on_delete=models.CASCADE) requirement = models.ManyToManyField(Requirement, blank=True) class Requirement(models.Model): ... All of those object have the same non-required field, which is a ManyToManyField, it's basically a requirement that can be set on either level of the structure. What I need to do is when I set the m2m field on the highest level of the structure, Object3, I need related Object2 and Object1 to set the m2m identically, same if I set it on Object2 instance, I need it to be set on the related Object1 instances. What is the most Django-ish way to achieve that? I hope my explanation is clear enough, I'll be more than happy to provide any more information. I've been pulling my hair out with this simple task, but I can't seem to come up with a good solution, hopefully with your help I'll be able to. -
