Install this package using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/concentricsky/django-sky-visitor.git@v1.0.1

Add 'sky_visitor' to your INSTALLED_APPS array.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'sky_visitor',
    ...
]

You must specify SECRET_KEY in your settings for any emails with tokens to be secure (example: invitation, confirm email address, forgot password, etc)

You must at least set LOGIN_URL to "login". You can optionally specify another valid URL or URL name of your own. Certain views in Sky Visitor depend on an accurate value for this setting and the default value in Django core ("/authentication/login/") is likely invalid unless you have created it.

If you wish to use the default URLs, add them to your urls.py like so:

url(r'^user/', include('sky_visitor.urls')),

• Class-based view implementations of all of the views
• Invitation emailed to users, where they can complete their registration
• Password rules

• Override URLs and views to provide custom workflows
• Customize views and URLs
• Customize forms
• Choose to not automatically log a user in after they compelte a registration, or password reset

This app uses the messages framework to pass success messages around after certain events (password reset completion, for example). If you would like to improve the experience for your users in this way, make sure you follow the message framework docs to enable and render these messages on your site.

Tests are broken into two separate apps running under three different "modes":

1. "normal user" mode (default) * Uses normaluser_tests/settings.py * Uses django.contrib.auth.models.User as the user model * Contains the base tests
2. "custom user" mode * Uses customuser_tests/settings.py * Uses django.contrib.auth.test.custom_user.CustomUser as the user model

A test runner is configured in each settings.py to run only the tests that are appropriate.

You can run the tests like so:

cd example_project
# "normal user" tests
./manage.py test
# "custom user" tests
./manage.py test --settings=customuser_tests.settings

Features to add:

• A user should have to confirm their email address before being allowed to finalize their registration
• Implement LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL
• Better built in password rules. Options for extending the password rules.

Improvements to documentation:

• Write sphinx documentation
• Step by step of password reset process and how it works
• List all template paths that the default templates will look for
