Settings parameters

You have to add these parameters to the settings, you have to include all of them except the last one:

EMAIL_SERVER = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_ADDRESS = 'mymail@gmail.com'
EMAIL_PASSWORD = 'mYC00lP4ssw0rd'

EMAIL_MAIL_PLAIN = 'mail_body.txt'
EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATE = 'confirm_template.html'
EMAIL_PAGE_DOMAIN = 'http://mysite.com/'
EMAIL_MODEL_ADMIN = False # the default value is False

In detail:

  • EMAIL_SERVER: your mail provider's server (e.g. 'smtp.gmail.com' for gmail)
  • EMAIL_PORT: your mail provider's server port (e.g. 587 for gmail)
  • EMAIL_ADDRESS: your email address
  • EMAIL_PASSWORD: your email address' password
  • EMAIL_MAIL_:
    • SUBJECT: the mail default subject (needed)
    • HTML: the mail body in form of html (not needed)
    • PLAIN: the mail body in form of .txt file (needed if HTML is not defined)
  • EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATE: the template of the success/error view
  • EMAIL_PAGE_DOMAIN: the domain of the confirmation link (usually your site's domain)
  • EMAIL_MODEL_ADMIN: True if you want to see the model in the admin panel (only for debugging purposes)

Templates examples

The EMAIL_MAIL_HTML should look like this ({{ link }} is passed during the rendering):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <style>
        h1{ color: blue; }
    </style>
</head>
    <body>
        <h1>You are almost there!</h1><br>
        <h2>Please click <a href="{{ link }}">here</a> to confirm your account</h2>
    </body>
</html>

The EMAIL_MAIL_PLAIN should look like this ({{ link }} is passed during the rendering):

You are almost there!
Please click the following link to confirm your account
{{ link }}

The EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATE should look like this ({{ success }} is boolean and passed during the rendering):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Confirmation</title>
    <style>
        body{ color: blue; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    {% if success %}
        You have confirmed your account!
    {% else %}
        Errore, invalid token!
    {% endif %}
</body>
</html>

Email sending

After you have created the user you can send the confirm email

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django_email_verification import sendConfirm

def myCreateView(request):
    ...
    user = get_user_model().objects.create(username=username, password=password, email=email)
    sendConfirm(user)
    return render(...)

sendConfirm(user) sets user's is_active to False and sends an email with the defined template (and the pseudo-random generated token) to the user.

Token verification

You have to include the urls in urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django_email_verification import urls as mail_urls

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    ...
    path('email/', include(mail_urls)),
]

When a request arrives to https.//mydomain.com/email/<token> the package verifies the token and:

  • if it corresponds to a pending token it renders the EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATE passing success=True and deletes the token
  • if it doesn't correspond it renders the EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATE passing success=False
