Hook django-registration into e-mail #15

Open Belgand opened 12 years ago

Belgand commented 12 years ago

Create a gmail account to send outgoing mail and set up django-registration to use it in order to send activation e-mails when a user creates a new account.

I saved this link about using gmail to send e-mail from django that should hopefully be helpful. Also consult the documentation for django-registration to be certain it hooks in correctly.

As a note registration is currently using the simple mode where it bypasses the activation step. Be sure to switch this in URLconfs.

I checked everything out and verified that it was possible, but then changed most of it back. We won't actually need to use this until the site goes live. When we do I added some notes for what needs to be done to get it up and running. Essentially we just need to add in an e-mail and password (I set it up to run through gmail), specify a site (or uninstall the sites framework), remove the URLconf include for the "simple" registration, and uncomment the default registration.

I'm leaving the issue open as a reminder that this will need to be done in the future.
