How to edit django-allauth default templates?
The correct answer can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31282443/4992248
- Create
yourproject/templates/allauth/account/
and paste here all templates you need to edit from/myproject/Lib/site-packages/allauth/templates/account
.
If you need to make changes for socialaccount
templates, create also yourproject/templates/allauth/socialaccount/
- Edit
'DIRS'
insettings.py
like'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'), os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates', 'allauth')],
In the end it should look somethink like this:
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'), os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates', 'allauth')],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'debug': False,
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.template.context_processors.media',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
- You never should do any code changes at
/Lib/site-packages/*
, because all changes are lost once a package is updated.
Try This:
Create account directory in your app's template dir so that it looks like below
yourppname/templates/account
and files
yourppname/templates/account/login.html
yourppname/templates/account/signup.html
and add below to your TEMPLATE DIRS Remember to change yourappname to your app's name
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'yourappname', 'templates')
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'yourappname', 'templates')],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
This worked for me using Django 2.1.7 and django-allauth 0.39.1:
In the folder
yourapp/templates/
create a folder namedaccount
so at the end the structure isyourapp/templates/account/
and add all templates that you want to override likelogin.html
orsignup.html
.In
settings.py
my Template Dirs remain the same'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
It seems that the documentation of the module is out of date. For Django 1.10 you should do the following:
- download the module with pip
- add the following to INSTALLED_APPS(/settings.py file)
'django.contrib.sites', # first place
'allauth', # after your modules declarations
'allauth.account',
'allauth.socialaccount',
- add the backends declarations and another stuff needed by allauth
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', 'allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend', ) SITE_ID = 1 ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = True
seems that for django 1.10 is not needed to modify TEMPLATES section (django-allauth==0.28.0). You can verify the modules versions using the "pip freeze" command.
create an artificial module to override the templates; for example, my project is named irj_app and I've add a new application called _shared, then i have the following structure, and add it to INSTALLED_APPS before 'allauth' declarations :
irj_app / _shared
- i've created a templates directory inside "_shared" folder and i've added a file called "base.html" that overrides the allauth template. what i'd found is that django-allauth creates a template that overrides the layout that you've made before, then you need to intercept the django-allauth templates to change this behavior. Also you can override any template of this authentication mechanism. For example i have:
irj_app / _shared / templates / base.html
irj_app / _shared / templates / account / base.html
irj_app / _shared / templates / account / signup.html
irj_app / _shared / templates / _shared / adminlte-template / ... (template for other modules)
hope it helps
