I have followed the official Django Tutorials for Django Login, Logout, Signup, Password Reset and Password Change tutorial and it worked well.
I intended to change the location of template folder. In my code the template folder is in app-level.Before the change of location of template folder, I have made new sign up users and log in. They are still working well, even after the change of location of template folder.
I would like to keep the template folder in app-level(accounts). The sign up page is not signing up new users and there is no prominent error. I would seek help to fix this problem.
I have given my code below:
**views.py (app-level):**
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.views.generic import CreateView
# Create your views here.
class SignUpView(CreateView):
form_class = UserCreationForm
success_url = reverse_lazy('login')
template_name = "registration/signup.html"
urls.py (app-level):
from django.urls import path
from .views import SignUpView
urlpatterns = [
path(‘signup’, SignUpView.as_view(), name = ‘signup’),
]
**urls.py(project-level):**
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('accounts/', include('accounts.urls')),
path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='home.html'), name = "home"),
]

**signup.html:**
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %}Sign Up{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h2>Sign Up</h2>
{% csrf_token %}
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<button type="submit">Sign Up</button>

{% endblock %}
