Add the fields to the user table that you require.
Then override the auth classes login function you are using
to read in the extra fields into the auth array.

Or if you are using the same user table for a number of applications, you
might
have one table with common information such as email, firstname, lastname
etc..
Then have a second table linked by userid that stores application specific
information.

It seems to me that auth_user should contain more than the few fields. I
need to be able to recall user information such as address, first name, last
name, phone number, etc. The usual information, nowhere is this implemented,
I know I could create yet another table but I have 3 or 4 already it's
getting hard to keep track of them and this seems a little messy.
 
Should I extend the auth_user table to include the information I need or
make yet another table or what? I'm just looking for suggestions on best
possible implementation, how have you guys done it?
