#21310 closed Bug (worksforme)

Admin recent actions section doesn't show content with settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL

Description

If a custom model is specified in settings (AUTH_USER_MODEL), then the query for recent activity always returns no events.

On some digging I have found the problem to be with the select related in the AdminLogNode like;

context[self.varname] = LogEntry.objects.filter(useridexact=user_id).select_related('content_type', 'user')[:self.limit]

Changing this to settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL as

context[self.varname] = LogEntry.objects.filter(useridexact=user_id).select_related('content_type', settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)[:self.limit]

Actually I believe from the documentation this should be get_user_model() but I haven't tested that.

thanks

Steve

I'm unable to reproduce using this example custom user package here: ​https://github.com/jonathanchu/django-custom-user-example

I added a Group in the admin and then was able to see that listed under "Recent Actions" on /admin/.

The code looks correct as it is -- you specify the name of a foreign key to follow when using select_related. The FK attribute on LogEntry is named user.

Please reopen if you can provide more details with steps to reproduce.
