Re-configuring allauth to fit custom specifications

[Fun. Bytes]

I have a set of expectations I'm trying to achieve. I want a sign up, login, and forget password page. I also want to have social sign in using Twitter, Facebook, or Google. Another thing I want is to send a confirmation email to the user validating their account.

I know I can do this with Django allauth, but allauth comes with extra features that I don't need. For example, I don't need the password reset and change email pages. I want to remove these pages and their corresponding functionality, but I'm afraid I might break the code if I do this.

I was thinking about two solutions. One solution would be to go through the allauth templates and change some of the code to fit my specifications, but I feel like it would be very tedious because a lot of things might break if I remove some funcionality.

The second solution I was thinking of doing was building on top of auth and using a custom User model and building custom login, sign up, and reset pages. Adding the required functionality and everything. I could also build the models to provide social login by copying allauth's templates. I am just debating on what would be the best possible choice to do this. I would be happy if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Hi,

I haven't used allauth specifically, but you can always do things like this:

1. Override the default templates by including your templates first. That way you will only get the functionality that your templates add. See here : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/overriding-templates/ 

and here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37439153/django-auth-where-to-put-custom-templates

2. You can only add the views that you need from the all auth package. If you check through the all auth package you will find a urls.py somewhere. Only add the views that you require for your project and you should be fine.

Regards,

Andréas
