Re: Request for new user account via email Django
There was a different problem actually, RequestContext(request) was never called I removed that line and put it in the above return. Worked fine :) thank you for the effort tho On Aug 4, 5:58 pm, Shawn Milochik wrote: > In your view you should be instantiating the form with the data from > request.POST instead of reading the values directly. > > Also, you mention that you get a 403 error when you post your name and > password, but the form and template you pasted don't include password, > so I suspect the error is coming from elsewhere. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Request for new user account via email Django
I am trying to make a little function for a user to request an account
and the information he puts in is sent to a person who will make an
account.
I was following this example mostly http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/261/
but it is very old and might be inaccurate for I have got and thus I
have problems with it.
I have this code currently:
###account/models.py
from django import forms
from django.core.mail import send_mail, BadHeaderError
# A simple contact form with four fields.
class NewAccountForm(forms.Form):
first_name = forms.CharField()
last_name = forms.CharField()
email = forms.EmailField()
###account/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
from account.models import NewAccountForm
from django import forms
from django.core.mail import send_mail, BadHeaderError
def request_account_view(request):
first_name = request.POST.get('first_name', '')
last_name = request.POST.get('last_name', '')
email = request.POST.get('email', '')
message = (first_name + ' ' + last_name + ' has requested a new
account for the email ' + email)
if first_name and last_name and email:
try:
send_mail('Request for Account',
message, email,
['exam...@example.com'])
except BadHeaderError:
return HttpResponse('Invalid header
found.')
return HttpResponseRedirect('/thankyou/')
else:
return render_to_response('new_account.html', {'form':
NewAccountForm()})
return render_to_response('new_account.html', {'form':
NewAccountForm()},
RequestContext(request))
def thankyou(request):
return render_to_response('thankyou.html')
###urls.py
(r'^thankyou/$', 'account.views.thankyou'),
(r'^new_account/$', 'account.views.request_account_view'),
###templates/new_account.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
{% csrf_token %}
First Name:
Last Name:
Email:
{% endblock %}
I am getting an error for:
Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
which occurs after I input name and password and click submit.
My email host is working fine because I previously was working on a
"Forgot Password"
function.
I would really appreciate help. Thank you.

.css files of the admin pages
I would like to know how to make changes to the built in style sheets in the admin pages I went into this directory where i found images being used in the admin website Django-1.3\django\contrib\admin\media\img\admin and changed images but it didn't effect my project at all. Is that the wrong place? Re running the project didn't help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

sorry for the delay in replying
I have added an extra field for the User by doing the whole process
where making User Profile app and extending the User module.
It doesn't seem to error. What I cant figure out, or find anywhere is
how to show this new field in the page where an admin creates a new
user. So under personal information such as First name and last Name I
want there to be Location field that I added to User Profile.
my User Profile:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
class UserProfile(models.Model):
# This field is required.
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
# Other fields here
location = models.CharField(max_length=20)
# definition of UserProfile from above
# ...
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)
post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)
also I would like to know how to make the email mandatory, like
password and username. Just changing the user model in the Django
folder to:
email = models.EmailField(_('e-mail address'), unique=True)
didn't work at all.

Extending the User form
I have extended the User Profile by adding my own field, how do I change the New user form in the admin, to show the new field? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
