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 %}
Error, 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/<base64 email>/<token> the package verifies the token and:
- if it corresponds to a pending token it renders the
EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATEpassingsuccess=Trueand deletes the token - if it doesn't correspond it renders the
EMAIL_PAGE_TEMPLATEpassingsuccess=False
