django-registration 0.5

An entry published by James Bennett on June 5, 2008, Part of the categories Django and Meta. Two comments posted.

Just a quick note: I’ve bumped django-registration to version 0.5. New in this version are Italian and Serbian translations, registration at the Cheese Shop (so you can now do easy_install django-registration) and a few bugfixes.

Notes you might care about:

Built-in forms now use lazy translations.
Activation now resets the activation key to a dummy string, which prevents re-activation of users you’ve manually deactivated.
The register view will pass any uploaded files from request.FILES to the registration form.
Username/email uniqueness checks are now, by popular demand, case-insensitive.

Also: I’m considering taking my own advice (from both my PyCon talk and my book) and adding an extra_context argument to the register and activate views, similar to what Django’s generic views already offer. If you think that’d be a good idea, swing by the issue tracker and add a star to this issue. If it looks like a popular option, I’ll add that in the next release.

On June 17, 2008, Stephen Wolff said:: Just wonder if it would be a good plan to include the username in the activation email. Obviously i can change my installation of your app to do this - thought it might generally be helpful for people to know who they’ve signed up as? Or is there a security implication?
