I have this custom user model on my Django project. I want to make the email as authentication field instead of the username. Also, I want to perform an email verification.
models.py
class es_user(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User,related_name='es_user', on_delete=models.CASCADE), is_activated = models.BooleanField(default=False) def get_absolute_url(self): return reverse('user_detail', kwargs={'id': self.pk }) view.py
def signup(request): signup_form_instance = SignUpForm() if request.method == "POST": signup_form_instance = SignUpForm(request.POST) if signup_form_instance.is_valid(): signup_form_instance2 = signup_form_instance.save(commit = False) username = signup_form_instance2.username password = signup_form_instance2.password signup_form_instance2.password = make_password(signup_form_instance.cleaned_data['password']) signup_form_instance2.save() user = authenticate(username=username, password=password) if user is not None: if user.is_active: login(request,user) active_user = request.user es_user_instance = es_user.objects.create(user= active_user) # return index(request) return redirect('index') # return user_detail(request)#successful signup redirect or return # return redirect('user_detail',id = [str(request.user.id) ])#kwargs={'id': request.user.id }) else: print("SIGN UP FORM INVALID") return render(request,'signup.html',{'signup_form':signup_form_instance}) forms.py
class SignUpForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = User fields = ('username', 'email', 'password') # for adding bootstrap classes & placeholders widgets = { 'username': TextInput(attrs={ 'class':'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Username *'}), 'email': EmailInput(attrs={ 'class':'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Your Email *'}), 'password': PasswordInput(attrs={ 'class':'form-control', 'placeholder': 'Your Password *'}), } help_texts = { 'username': None, } # to remove labels in form labels = { 'username': (''), 'email':(''), 'password':(''), } My project is near completion so I cannot change my user model anymore or even change its name. So is there a way I can add email verification and using email instead of username for authentication without changing my user model.
I've seen a solution for a similar problem in this post . But I cannot use it since I use my custom user model es_user. is there a way in which I can edit it for my problem
