NotImplementedError in django-registration when re

Question

I have a django app and trying to use django-registration app in it. And below are my settings and codes

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'south',
    'registration',
    'user_profile',
 )

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = "user_profile.UserProfile"
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

project urls.py file

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^accounts/', include('user_profile.urls')),
    url(r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.default.urls')),
 )

user_profile urls.py file

from registration.views import RegistrationView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^register/$', RegistrationView.as_view(),
        {'backend': 'user_profile.backends.RegistrationBackend'},
        name='registration_register'),
)

user_profile.backends.py file

from .forms import RegistrationForm
from user_profile.models import UserProfile
from registration.views import RegistrationView

class RegistrationBackend(RegistrationView):
    def get_form_class(self, request)
        return RegistrationForm

    def register(self, request, **kwargs):
        kwargs["username"] = kwargs["email"]
        user = super(RegistrationBackend, self).register(request, **kwargs)
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=user)
        return user

So from the above code when the user hits the url localhost:8000/accounts/register a registration form will be displayed, and after entering all the fields(username,email, password, password) and clicked on register button i am getting the below NotImplementedError

NotImplementedError at /accounts/register/
No exception supplied
Request Method: POST
Request URL:    http://localhost:8000/accounts/register/
Django Version: 1.5.1
Exception Type: NotImplementedError

  109.         raise NotImplementedError

Exception Type: NotImplementedError at /accounts/register/
Exception Value: 

can anyone know how to avoid this NotImplementedError, actually according to the original view at python2.7/site-packages/registration/views.py , the register method is

def register(self, request, **cleaned_data):
    """
    Implement user-registration logic here. Access to both the
    request and the full cleaned_data of the registration form is
    available here.

    """
    raise NotImplementedError

But i am providing the backend class to use for registering the user in my url as {'backend': 'user_profile.backends.RegistrationBackend'}, but still it is not overriding and displaying the origin functional error.

So what i am doing wrong in the above scenario and how to fix and make the user save ?

Edit

After modifying code as indicated by Paco

when tried to register the user i got below error

error at /accounts/register/
[Errno 111] Connection refused

Answer 1

You don't need to inherit from a method that raises NotImplementedError. Try this instead.

def register(self, request, **kwargs):
    UserProfile.objects.create(**kwargs)
    return user

Otherwise, you inheriting the raise as well.

Your edit is a different issue.

Have a look at this. It is due to the send_mail function. I quote:

For debugging purposes you could setup a local smtpserver with this command:

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

and adjust your mail settings accordingly:

EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost' EMAIL_PORT = 1025

This is documented here: Testing e-mail sending

Answer 2

If you have `[Errno 111] Connection refused', you must have a mail server to sen thje email (Aka postfix or sendmail). Start your mail server !

Answer 3

My similar problem solved by

from registration.backends.model_activation.views import RegistrationView

instead of

from registration.views import RegistrationView

in urls.py (django 1.9)
