Hi,
I just read chapter 12 in djangobook.com on authentication:
http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/chapter12/
I am creating a new user in response to a registration form I've made,
doing something like this:
from django.contrib import auth
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
def createAccount(request):
# extract information for PUT form request
# ...
newUser = User.objects.create_user(username_, email, pwd)
newUser.save()
auth.login(request, newUser)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/userHome/')
But there is an exception with the login. Apparently the user doesn't
have a backend, as shown below.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ivan
