AttributeError: module Django.contrib.auth.views has no attribute

Question

In my Django app useraccounts, I created a Sign-Up form and a model for my Sign-up. However, when I went to run python manage.py makemigrations, I encounter the error: AttributeError: module Django.contrib.auth.views has no attribute 'registration'. Secondly, am I coding the SignUpForm in forms.py correctly? I did not want to use the User model in models because it would request username and I didn't want my website to ask for a username.

Here is my code:

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.dispatch import receiver
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    last_name =  models.CharField(max_length=150)
    email = models.EmailField(max_length=150)
    birth_date = models.DateField()
    password = models.CharField(max_length=150)

@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def update_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)
    instance.profile.save()

forms.py

from django.forms import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from useraccounts.models import UserProfile

class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):

    class Meta:
        model = User

        fields = ('first_name',
                  'last_name',
                  'email',
                  'password1',
                  'password2', )

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth import login, authenticate
from useraccounts.forms import SignUpForm

# Create your views here.
def home(request):
    return render(request, 'useraccounts/home.html')

def login(request):
    return render(request, 'useraccounts/login.html')

def registration(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SignUpForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save()
            user.refresh_from_db()
            user.profile.birth_date = form.cleaned_data.get('birth_date')
            user.save()
            raw_password = form.cleaned_data.get('password1')
            user = authenticate(password=raw_password)
            login(request, user)
            return redirect('home')
        else:
            form = SignUpForm()
        return render(request, 'registration.html', {'form': form})

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

urlpatterns = [

    url(r'^$', views.home),
    url(r'^login/$', auth_views.login, {'template_name': 'useraccounts/login.html'}, name='login'),
    url(r'^logout/$', auth_views.logout, {'template_name': 'useraccounts/logout.html'}, name='logout'),
    url(r'^registration/$', auth_views.registration, {'template_name': 'useraccounts/registration.html'}, name='registration'),

]

Answer 1

Open urls.py and replace:

django.contrib.auth.views.login with django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView

django.contrib.auth.views.logout with django.contrib.auth.views.LogoutView

Answer 2

Your urlpatterns should be:

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

urlpatterns = [
   url( r'^login/$',auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name="useraccounts/login.html"), name="login"),
]

Answer 3

In django version 2.1 in custom urls patterns from auth app i use

from django.urls import path, re_path
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from django.conf import settings
from .views import register_view, activate


urlpatterns = [
    # url(r'^$', HomeView.as_view(), name='home'),
    re_path(r'^register/$', register_view, name='signup'),
    re_path(r'^activate/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$',
            activate, name='users_activate'),
    re_path('login/', auth_views.LoginView, {
        'template_name': "users/registration/login.html"},
        name='login'),
    re_path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView,
        {'next_page': settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL}, name='logout'),

    re_path(r'^password_reset/$', auth_views.PasswordResetView,
        {'template_name': "users/registration/password_reset_form.html"},
        name='password_reset'),
    re_path(r'^password_reset/done/$', auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView,
        {'template_name': "users/registration/password_reset_done.html"},
        name='password_reset_done'),
    re_path(r'^reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$',
        auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView,
        {'template_name': "users/registration/password_reset_confirm.html"},
        name='password_reset_confirm'),
    re_path(r'^reset/done/$', auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView,
        {'template_name': "users/registration/password_reset_complete.html"},
        name='password_reset_complete'),
]

Django 2.1 contrib views change from function view to class view and name also change so in forgot process you need to give other view name

urls.py

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

path('password_reset/', auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(), {'template_name':'registration/Reset_email.html'}, name='password_reset'),
    path('password_reset/done/', auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(), {'template_name':'registration/Reset_Email_Sent.html'}, name='password_reset_done'),
    re_path('reset/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/', auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), {'template_name' : 'registration/Forgot_password.html'}, name='password_reset_confirm'),
    path('reset/done/', auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(), {'template_name' : 'registration/Signin.html'}, name='password_reset_complete'),

Django you can customize user model and you can remove username and use email address

models.py

user model you can write customize column you can add and you can delete

user manage also you can customize comond like super user if yo u need to give any default value

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser,BaseUserManager
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    """Define a model manager for User model with no username field."""

    use_in_migrations = True

    def _create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        """Create and save a User with the given email and password."""
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('The given email must be set')
        email = self.normalize_email(email)
        user = self.model(email=email, **extra_fields)
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user

    def create_user(self, email, password=None, **extra_fields):
        """Create and save a regular User with the given email and password."""
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff', False)
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', False)
        return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)

    def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
        """Create and save a SuperUser with the given email and password."""
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff', True)
        extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True)

        if extra_fields.get('is_staff') is not True:
            raise ValueError('Superuser must have is_staff=True.')
        if extra_fields.get('is_superuser') is not True:
            raise ValueError('Superuser must have is_superuser=True.')

        return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)


class User(AbstractUser):

    username = None
    email = models.EmailField(_('email'), unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField( _('first name'), max_length=250)
    last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=250)
    email_confirmed = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['first_name', 'last_name',]

    objects = UserManager()

    def __str__(self):
        return "%s" %(self.email)

settings.py

settings you need to give your custom user model

# AUTH USER MODEL
AUTH_USER_MODEL = "Accounts.User" 

LOGIN_URL = '/login/'
#LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL  = 'login_success'

LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/login/'

admin.py

admin you need to register user model

## user model view
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin as DjangoUserAdmin
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

@admin.register(User)
class UserAdmin(DjangoUserAdmin):
    """Define admin model for custom User model with no email field."""

    fieldsets = (
        (None, {'fields': ('email', 'password')}),
        (_('Personal info'), {'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email_confirmed')}),
        (_('Permissions'), {'fields': ('is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser',
                                       'groups', 'user_permissions')}),
        (_('Important dates'), {'fields': ('last_login', 'date_joined')}),
    )

    add_fieldsets = (
        (None, {
            'classes': ('wide',),
            'fields': ('email', 'password1', 'password2', 'first_name', 'last_name'),
        }),
    )
    list_display = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name',)
    search_fields = ('email', 'first_name', 'last_name')
    ordering = ('-id',)
