I use django 1.6.1 and python 3.3.3 in windows8. I want to build a app named 'customauth' that supports email activation. I choose to create my own user model from the django.contrib.auth.models.AbstractBaseUser , not a profile model that holds a OneToOneField to django build-in User model.
This model class is called 'MyUser'.Its features: 1. Only three fields : email, username and password are required when creating an MyUser instance. 2. User logins my site via email and password. 3. When creating a user (not superuser), field 'is_active' is False, 'activation_key' is set to a random key with username, then, djanog sends an email with a activation_key link to him. If user clicks it in some days (like 3), his 'is_active' turns True, 'activation_key' turns to be a constant , so he can login. 4.When creating a superuser, its 'is_active' is True, 'activation_key' is a constant directly and not invoking the process of sending activation email. Up to now, what I have done looks like a weird combination of a custom User model from Substituting a custom User model <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/customizing/#auth-custom-user>and the theory from django-registration<https://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/wiki/Home> . Now my situation is weird: 1.Only when 'python manage.py syncdb' in cmd.exe, creating the superuser, the whole process can work fine (i.e.,send a mail, then click it to activate). However, this superuser can not login admin site despite its 'is_admin' is True. It can only login user site. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1l8f78fgfj4696a/super.jpg 2.When you register a user in the normal way (you enter some required infomation in the form), the user can be created, but django will not send a email to this user. Now I donot know the reason, but as the email activation system works fine when first creating the superuser, there must be a way to make it works in user register. So, what should I do, Thanks. This is the project file myauth.zip<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com%2Fs%2Fke47wspiskz2nel%2Fmyauth.zip&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEH6BxEpSA6NOI2O24qjwcrHzaNbw>, if needed.'customauth' is the app. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
