Password view form in Django format

I'm still new to Django and ask a few questions about how inline viewing works. I noticed that djang has a built-in password change view on django.contrib.auth.views.password_change. This view shows the admin site against the background of the template, while I want to provide my own CSS / template, but retain the form and functionality of this view. How can I do it? You can pass something to urls.py

r'password_change/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_change')

How is the user template? I'm not sure how to do it right.

You can specify the template to be used by specifying the template_name argument:

 (r'password_change/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_change', {'template_name': 'path/to/password_reset.html'})

In your template, make sure that you use the provided template variable {{ form }} and you are good to go.

Django will try to download the templates first from your application and then backtrack. So, to override the templates for contrib.auth, you just need to:

  • Create a directory named auth in the templates directory.
  • Create a template with the same name that expects to wait for the inline view.
  • There is no step 3.

You can also specify the URL of the successful change with:

 url(r'^password/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_change', {'post_change_redirect' : '/password-changed/','template_name': 'password.html'},),
