User Registration

[SophieMcGee]

As a first-time visitor, I can create an account on the Donegal Explorers app so that I can add, edit and delete my own event listings. I should also be able to comment on other events and save then to my calendar.

• A clear signup button should be visible on the landing page, which takes users to a signup page.

• The registration process should require a valid email address and password, and when provided a new account should be created.

• After registering, users should be redirected to a welcome page where they are notified that they have successfully created an account and logged in.

• Progress: User registration has been implemented, allowing users to create an account using an email and password. After registration, users are redirected to a welcome page.
• Issues: None
• Next Steps: Test for edge cases, such as invalid email formats and duplicate registrations.

Issues Identified:

• Template Errors: encountered a TemplateSyntaxError on the signup page, caused by incorrect block tags.
• ConnectionRefusedError: A ConnectionRefusedError occurred during the login process, preventing users from successfully logging in after creating an account.

• Updates:
  • Implemented and tested the user registration functionality.
  • Fixed the signup page errors related to TemplateSyntaxError by correcting the block tags and ensuring proper structure.
  • Updated the base.html in the account folder to reflect consistent navigation and proper usage of templates.
  • Verified the signup form uses crispy_forms for consistent styling across the platform.

Progress: User registration is now fully functional with email verification. SMTP configuration successfully sends confirmation emails. Users can sign up, receive verification emails, and activate their accounts.

Issues: None at the moment.

Next Steps:

Test with invalid email formats and ensure proper error handling. Add a "Resend Verification Email" option for users who may not receive the email initially. Improve the user feedback experience by making the registration confirmation page more engaging.
