I have extendted the *UserCreationForm* with email and other fields, so
that I could authenticate a user with both its username and email.
forms.py:
> class UserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
> class Meta:
> model = User
> fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'username', 'email',)
views.py:
def auth_view(request):
> username = request.POST.get('username','')
> password = request.POST.get('password','')
> user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)
> if user is not None:
> auth.login(request, user)
> return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
> elif:
> user = auth.authenticate(email=username, password=password)
> if user is not None:
> auth.login(request, user)
> return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
> else:
> return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/invalid_login')
html:
<form action="/accounts/auth/" method="post">
> {%csrf_token%}
> <label for="name">Email or Username:</label>
> <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="">
> <label for="password">Password:</label>
> <input type="password" name="password" id="password" value="">
> <input type="submit" value="LOGIN">
> </form>
In the views I tried giving both the *username* and *email *as input from
the form as *name*, and check to see if username and password authenticate.
If not then check whether email and password authenticate. But its not
working. How do I solve this problem? Please kindly help me. Thank you.
