django-users2 0.1.0

Custom user model for django >=1.5 with support for multiple user types

Custom user model for django >=1.5 with support for multiple user types and lots of other awesome utils (mostly borrowed from other projects).

Features

• email as username for authentication (barebone extendable user models)

• support for multiple user types (using the awesome django-model-utils)

• handy mixins to control a user’s access to views (borrowed from django-braces)

• automatically creates superuser after syncdb (really handy during the initial development phases)

• built in emails/passwords validators (with lots of customisable options)

• prepackaged with all the templates, including additional templates required by views in django.contrib.auth (for a painless signup process)

Documentation

Quickstart

1. Install django-users2:

   pip install django-users2

2. Add django-users2 to INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'users',
       ...
   )

3. Set your AUTH_USER_MODEL setting to use users.User:

   AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'users.User'

4. Once you’ve done this, run the syncdb command to install the model used by this package:

   python manage.py syncdb

5. Add the django-users2 URLs to your project’s URLconf as follows:

   urlpatterns = patterns('',
       ...
       url(r'^accounts/', include('users.urls')),
       ...
   )

which sets up URL patterns for the views in django-users2 as well as several useful views in django.contrib.auth (e.g. login, logout, password change/reset)
