Hello there, I have setup email login in a Django site in a very similar way as http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/74/ It works on the admin, meaning a correct email/password combination logs the user in.
The problem is when there is no user with the entered email address in the database. The admin shows this misleading error message: "Usernames cannot contain the '@' character.". To solve this, I have tried a custom AdminSite class (the error message is displayed from the login view method in the AdminSite class) with a modified login method, but then I have to find a way to get all the apps registered in the default admin site (using a customized AdminSite instance won't show any app in the admin index page). I tried defining the get_urls method like this: def get_urls(self): from django.contrib.admin import site return site.get_urls() but that doesn't work, because it uses django.contrib.site's login view instead of mine, so I try hacking the urlpatterns: def get_urls(self): from django.contrib.admin import site index = self.admin_view(self.index) return patterns('', url(r'^$', index, name='index')) + site.get_urls()[1:] which does not work either, I get the "Looks like your browser isn't configured to accept cookies. (...)" error message when logins should be successful :( I don't want to keep on going with a custom admin site for only getting that error message right, but I don't see any other way (don't want to hack Django's code either, unless this is considered to be a bug). Does anybody know of a better way to handle this? Thanks! -- Gonzalo Delgado <gonzalo...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
