FOSS home > The Django Registration App

The Django Registration Application

This is a complete user registration package for Django. It takes care of all the mondane stuff you need to do before you can start your nice new e-commerce or social networking web-site: Secure user registration.

Features

User registration form with configurable and really nice CAPTCHA.
Username, password and e-mail are specified.
Confirmation e-mail is sent to user, and account only becomes 'confirmed' once the user clicks on the link in that confirmation e-mail.
Supports browsing of the site in 'unconfirmed' mode, which allows users to explore your site (possibly with limited functionality) while awaiting the confirmation e-mail from you. Keeps them interested and prevents them from moving on to other things.
Works with standard Django 0.96.
Adds useful elements to each request, which are then available in your templates. Take a look at registration/request_processor.py to see all the good stuff.

More information

The download package contains a detailed INSTALL.txt, which you should really, really read. Also, the README.txt is very important. Don't skip it! Overall, the installation is very easy, but you do want to know what you are doing.

License: AGPL and BSD

The software is dual-licensed under the AGPL and the BSD licenses.
