The one-step workflow¶

As an alternative to the two-step (registration and 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:

A user signs up by filling out a registration form.
The user’s account is created and is active immediately, with no intermediate confirmation or activation step.
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:

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 REGISTRATION_OPEN.

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

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 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 django_registration.backends.one_step.views.RegistrationView and either overriding form_class or implementing 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 the quick start guide for details of these templates.
