Signup tweaks

Here are some tips and tweaks for django-sitegate signup flows.

Sending confirmation email for email-aware signups

By default email-aware signup flows do not ask a user to verify his email address, to change this behaviour you need to take some additional steps:

Note

This feature depends upon django-sitemessage.

Make sure it is installed and configured to use SMTP.

Note

This feature also depends upon Django Messages Contrib. Make sure it is available.

  • Either override verify_email` flow class attribute or provide ``verify_email keyword attribute to signup_view decorator:

    ...
    @signup_view(verify_email=True)
    ...
    
  • Attach sitegate urls to urlpatterns of your project (urls.py):

    from sitegate.toolbox import get_sitegate_urls
    
    urlpatterns = patterns('',
        ...
    )
    
    urlpatterns += get_sitegate_urls()
    
  • You’re done. Upon registration user will be notified he needs to confirm his email address.

    An email with account activation link will be sent by django-sitemessage.

Note

Texts (both sent by email and shown on site) could be customized.
