I'm afraid I don't understand your query completely.

If I understand you correctly, you're asking our integration of Custom user model.

Custom user models are supported. In case you are facing a particular issue, you can point that to us.

Thank you abhi, May I know how to integrate my custom user to integrate. Please help me to achieve it.

Actually I have went through whole document but I didn't get where to integrate custom user to allow to post a comment.
I mean after custom user login only user can post a comment for Ad.

If solve this issue it means a lot abhi.

just use it the same way you would even if you weren't using a custom user model. there are no changes required(from the user's side) to integrate it with a custom user model.

Hi,

We added customer user model in our project

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'pages.vk_customer'

from django.contrib.auth.models import BaseUserManager, AbstractBaseUser


class UserAccountManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email, firstname, lastname, password=None):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('Email must be set!')
        user = self.model(email=email, firstname=firstname, lastname=lastname)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, firstname, lastname, password):
        user = self.create_user(email, firstname, lastname, password)
        user.is_admin = True
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def get_by_natural_key(self, email_):
        return self.get(email=email_)

and we seeing an error like this

'vk_customer' object has no attribute 'set_password'
Could you let us know what we are missing? We really liked your project and would like to integrate into our Web application.

Best regards,
Salima

I'm sorry I couldn't respond earlier due to the pandemic.

The error that you should above(as of now), doesn't seem to be related to comment model. Why do you think this issue is caused by the comment model?
