This code works with Django-registration app found here: http://code.google.com/p/django-registration/ If you plan to use this django-registrtion code in your website to allow user registration but do not run your own email server,this snippet can be handy.

It uses gmail server to send out email. You have to install libgmail module first.

Add two lines to your settings.py GMAIL_USERNAME = '[email protected]' GMAIL_PASSWORD = 'your_password' Change models.py - create_inactive_user(...) as given above

  if send_email:            
      current_domain = Site.objects.get_current().domain
      subject = "Activate your new account at %s" %  current_domain
      message_template = loader.get_template('registration/activation_email.txt')
      message_context = Context({ 'site_url': 'http://%s/' % current_domain,
                                        'activation_key': activation_key,
                                        'expiration_days': settings.ACCOUNT_ACTIVATION_DAYS })
        message = message_template.render(message_context)
        ga = libgmail.GmailAccount(settings.GMAIL_USERNAME, settings.GMAIL_PASSWORD)
        ga.login()
        msg = libgmail.GmailComposedMessage(to=new_user.email, subject=subject, body=message)
        ga.sendMessage(msg)

I am going to save everyone a lot of heart ache here. Add these lines and that error will go away:

in create_inactive_user(...)

salt = sha.new(str(random.random())).hexdigest()[:5] activation_key = sha.new(salt+new_user.username).hexdigest()

and change profile_callback to this: if profile_callback is not None: profile_callback(user=new_user, activiation_key=activiation_key)
