Django registration is awesome but still no default templates ( or official companion project that provides them) I don't get it.

The main developer James Bennett has discussed his reasons several times on multiple venues, but the FAQ in the Read the Docs for django-registration gives details in "Does django-registration come with any sample templates I can use right away?"

https://django-registration.readthedocs.org/en/latest/faq.ht...

Other people have provided good baselines to work from, the Djen of Django provides explanations with their samples:

(note I haven't upgraded to 1.0 so not sure if there are any incompatibilities)

This has been a long awaited update for django-registration to make it compatible with Django 1.5's user model. To give some context, several people submitted pull requests over the last few months which were continually rejected. Glad to see this canonical Django package getting finally updated.

Note: The documentation[1] still describes 0.9 version.

I've used Django Registration on at least 5 projects, and despite having built a good set of templates with the first project, haven't ever been able to reuse them completely.

Registration is (or at least, probably ought to be) a very personal set of decisions for any app/project. I agree that there could be some easily packaged, cookie-cutter defaults, but having experienced all the reasons James Bennett cited for not packaging any templates, I have to say that he's not crazy for their omission.

Isn't the documentation actually for 0.8?

Here's a set of default templates I wrote. I respect the reasoning for not providing them, but implementing 15 templates to get started out of the box is a bit onerous. https://github.com/yourcelf/django-registration-defaults

Yep, for some reason they decided it would be ok to delay release and deny pull requests for so much time that many people (myself included) simply wrote their own implementations.

Yes.. I have read the faq but

1 "Providing default templates with an application is generally hard to impossible" not true since the introducton of app template loader

2 "A number of things in django-registration depend on the specific registration backend" 99 % uses standard db/user built in backend. If you use social-auth or similar you (almost ) do not need registration

I second 'yourcelf' comment below.. I always use his template as a starting point.

May be a management commas that generate those default templates? ( not a big fan of template generation anyway)
