overriding default templates of django-allauth

Question

I used this social registration/signup library django allauth for a project of mine. How do i customize the default templates and forms to give a better look and feel?

Answer 1

Assuming you have set a project level templates directory using the TEMPLATE_DIRS setting like:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = [     os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'templates'), ] 

You should be able to copy all of the folders shown here into that directory and edit them as you need. Most of the templates seem to be filling a {% block content %} block, so it's probably easiest if your site_base.html template defines that block somewhere.

If you haven't set TEMPLATE_DIRS, you can do the same thing, but copy the template folders into the templates directory of one of your apps. I prefer to set TEMPLATE_DIRS and keep the main site templates like base.html there, since they don't really belong to a particular app, but that's really just a preference; the template loader should find them either way.

Answer 2

the latest version of all-auth on github has its templates outside, however the one on Pypi is not, all you need to do is clone the repo in your project directory and override the templates. As simple as that.
