It looks like the problem isn't with send_mail, its the save override
on the form, the is_active = False isn't setting that option in the DB
either, so it is skipping over the save options. Here they are again:
forms.py:
class RegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(label="E-Email")
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("username", "email")
def clean_email(self):
email = self.cleaned_data["email"]
try:
User.objects.get(email=email)
except User.DoesNotExist:
return email
raise forms.ValidationError("A user with that email address
already exists.")
def save(self):
user = super(RegisterForm, self).save(commit=False)
send_activation(user)
user.is_active = False
user.save()
and the view:
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_user = form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/obits/")
else:
form = RegisterForm()
return render_to_response("obits/register.html", {'form': form })
So, the username and all of that are saving by the user.is_active and
send_mail are getting skipped
