I am trying upgrade old version Django 1.5 to newer. And after upgrade when I go to password reset page, Django give me Error:

In urls.py I have:

      url(r'^password/reset/done/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done', name='passwd_reset_done'),
      url(r'^password/reset/confirm/(?P<uidb36>\w+)/(?P<token>[\d\w-]+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm_uidb36', name='passwd_reset_confirm'),
      url(r'^password/reset/completed/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_complete', name='passwd_reset_complete'),
      url(r'^password/reset/$', passwd_reset, {'template_name':'emailing/registration-activation/password_reset_email.html'}, name='password_reset'),

And in views.py I have:

from django.contrib.auth.views import password_reset

def passwd_reset(request, *args, **kwargs):
    kwargs['password_reset_form'] = PasswdResetForm
    kwargs['email_template_name'] = 'emailing/registration-activation/password_reset_email.html'
    kwargs['from_email'] = FROM_EMAIL
    return password_reset(request, *args, **kwargs)

In Django 1.5 it works fine, but in newer versions give me the Error. Do you know anybody how to fix it?? Thanks

EDIT: I changed in urls.py some urls for reset password. Now is there:

    url(r'^password/reset/done/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_done', name='password_reset_done'),
    url(r'^password/reset/confirm/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>.+)/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm', name='password_reset_confirm'),
    url(r'^password/reset/completed/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_complete', name='password_reset_complete'),
    url(r'^password/reset/$', passwd_reset, {'template_name':'emailing/registration-activation/password_reset_email.html'}, name='password_reset'),

And now I have Error:

Template error: In template /home/martin/Work/wisepress.com/eshopwisepress/templates/emailing/registration-activation/password_reset_email.html, error at line 44

On line 44 is now:

It's better to edit the question and add the traceback there, so you can format it nicely. I'm confused by the error message, because post_change_redirect is only used in the password_change method. Are you using the password_change and password_change_done views in your urls.py? Also, it might be a good idea to use the same url names as Django uses, for example name='password_reset_done' instead of name='passwd_reset_done'. — Alasdair
Thank you very much, now I changed template_name to email_template_name and now it works :-) — Martin Jablečník

In your password_reset url pattern, the template_name should not be the same as your email_template_name. The template_name is a template that shows the password reset form to the user.
