Inside django_project I have the directories called django_project, users, and blog.
“users” and “blog” are both applications within the project.
Inside django_project → django_project → urls.py I have the following:
from users import views as user_views
urlpatterns = [
path('register/', user_views.register, name = 'register'),
]
Inside django_project → users → views.py I have the following:
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
message.success(request, f'Your account has been created!')
return redirect('login')
else:
form = UserRegistrationForm()
return render(request, 'users/register.html')
Inside django_project → django_project → users → templates → users → register.html I have the following:
{% extends "blog/base.html" %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
