James Bennet's django-registration is awesome. But it doesn't come with any of the 15 templates required to implement the workflow of registration, login/logout, and password changing and resetting. This application simply provides a set of default templates for this to avoid the repetition of rewriting them.
This app is supplemental to django-registration, which must also be
installed.
Install using your preferred method for python modules. The folder
registration_defaults must end up in your python path. You could do this
by copying or symlinking the folder into your path, or with:
python setup.py install
My preferred method (and that of many django developers) is to install from the
git source using pip with virtualenv. The requirements file entry for this (and the
dependency django-registration) is as follows:
django-registration django-registration-defaults
Configuration parameters required by django-registration are set in the
module registration_defaults.settings. Add these by importing them into
your settings file:
from registration_defaults.settings import *
You can add the templates in one of two ways:
If you're using the
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loadertemplate loader (it is enabled by default), you can include the templates by adding"registration_defaults"to your project'sINSTALLED_APPSsetting. Keep in mind thatadmindefines some templates for changing and retrieving passwords, so if you want to use consistent base templates and styling for all registration and login/logout functions, you should addregistration_defaultsbeforedjango.contrib.adminso that it will take precedence:INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... "registration_defaults", "django.contrib.admin", ... "django_registration", )Alternatively, if
django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loaderis listed before the app directories loader, you can addREGISTRATION_TEMPLATE_DIRto yourTEMPLATE_DIRSsetting. If you do this, it is not necessary to includeregistration_defaultsas an installed app:from registration_defaults.settings import * TEMPLATE_DIRS = ( ... REGISTRATION_TEMPLATE_DIR, )
All registration_defaults templates inherit from
django_registration/registration_base.html. The default template provided for
this is simply:
{% extends "base.html" %}
You must either provide a base.html for the registration templates to
inherit from, or override django_registration/registration_base.html. The base
template should provide a title block for the content of the HTML title,
and a content block for content (NOTE: this has changed from previously
using body to be more in line with reusable app standards ). For example:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
