I am using django-registration 2.0.4 (https://django-registration.readthedocs.org/en/2.0.4/, https://github.com/ubernostrum/django-registration) with Django 1.8 and am trying to customise the registration form and application itself. While I am able to customise the form, I am stuck at using an email as username.
I don't need to change anything in Django's backend since simple removing the username field in the form and using the input email as username in the backend would be enough.
I have found this (Django-Registration: Email as username) for example but it is a couple of years old and I didn't manage to get it running yet.
How would I approach this the right way to implement said functionality? Has anyone solved this problem with a recent version already?
Edit:
Since I was asked for code: There isn't much that is relevant to this problem since it isn't a code problem but a question regarding how to extend or change the django plugin.
However, my current, boring, forms.py, as it is in the link I linked:
class MyCustomForm(forms.Form):
email = Email(required=True)
password1 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput(), label="Password")
password2 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput(), label="Repeat your password")
def clean_password(self):
if self.data['password1'] != self.data['password2']:
raise forms.ValidationError('Passwords are not the same')
return self.data['password1']
urls.py
...
url(r'^accounts/register/$', RegistrationView.as_view(form_class=InsuranceForm), name='registration_register'),
url(r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.hmac.urls')),
...
