Re: best approach for using email as username

Hi

Firstly you can try using  the following auth-backend
http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/74/

secondly
while rendering the signup form to the user
you can write a clean method in your signnup form like
   
def clean_email(self):
        try:
            user=User.objects.get(email__exact=self.cleaned_data["email"])
            raise forms.ValidationError(u"A user already is subscribed to this email, please choose another email ID")
        except User.DoesNotExist:
            # email is unique


        return self.cleaned_data["email"]

Hi,

The unique problem is username = email.

You could create auth backend for login with email but email != username

I use:
 http://code.google.com/p/django-profile/

In django-profile login is with username and email is opcional...
But i add email auth backend and user can login with your email if registred.



ps.: i dont speak english....

Hello,

I need to use the email field as the username. I neet these:

* Email must be unique
* I should authenticate against the email
* The admin should work I I should be able to create users with
username = email address.

I have a custom authentication method but I need more. I need to tell
Django to make the email unique, and I need to login and create users
from the admin with the @ character.

What is the best approach for this?

I've been searching in google but no one of the solutions can
accomplish the three points I need.

Thank you!

Adrian.
