The one-step workflow
=====================

As an alternative to :ref:`the two-step (registration and activation)
workflow <activation-workflow>`, django-registration bundles a
one-step registration workflow in
`django_registration.backends.one_step`. This workflow consists of
as few steps as possible:

1. A user signs up by filling out a registration form.

2. The user's account is created and is active immediately, with no
   intermediate confirmation or activation step.

3. The new user is logged in immediately.


Configuration
-------------

To use this workflow, include the URLconf
`django_registration.backends.one_step.urls` somewhere in your site's
own URL configuration. For example:

.. code-block:: python

   from django.urls import include, path

   urlpatterns = [
       # Other URL patterns ...
       path('accounts/', include('django_registration.backends.one_step.urls')),
       path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
       # More URL patterns ...
   ]

To control whether registration of new accounts is allowed, you can
specify the setting :data:`~django.conf.settings.REGISTRATION_OPEN`.

Upon successful registration, the user will be redirected to the
site's home page -- the URL `/`. This can be changed by subclassing
:class:`django_registration.backends.one_step.views.RegistrationView`
and overriding the method
:meth:`~django_registration.views.RegistrationView.get_success_url`
or setting the attribute
:attr:`~django_registration.views.RegistrationView.success_url`. You
can also do this in a URLconf. For example:

.. code-block:: python

   from django.conf.urls import include, url

   from django_registration.backends.one_step.views import RegistrationView

   urlpatterns = [
       # Other URL patterns ...
       path('accounts/register/',
           RegistrationView.as_view(success_url='/profile/'),
	   name='django_registration_register'),
       path('accounts/', include('django_registration.backends.one_step.urls')),
       path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
       # More URL patterns ...
   ]

The default form class used for account registration will be
:class:`django_registration.forms.RegistrationForm`, although this can
be overridden by supplying a custom URL pattern for the registration
view and passing the keyword argument `form_class`, or by subclassing
:class:`django_registration.backends.one_step.views.RegistrationView`
and either overriding
:attr:`~django_registration.views.RegistrationView.form_class` or
implementing
:meth:`~django_registration.views.RegistrationView.get_form_class()`,
and specifying the custom subclass in your URL patterns.


Templates
---------

The one-step workflow uses two templates:

* `django_registration/registration_form.html`.
* `django_registration/registration_closed.html`

See :ref:`the quick start guide <default-form-template>` for details
of these templates.
