How do I use generic views in Django?

I am trying to use Django's generic views to make a user registration page. I have the following code in my app's urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from models import Ticket

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^new/$', 'django.views.generic.create_update.create_object', { 'model': User } ),
)

Now when I go to that url I get the following:

TemplateDoesNotExist at /new/
auth/user_form.html

I have tried making a template to match it but I keep getting that message. Any advice?

Also, I assumed that this would make the template for me. What do I actually put in the template file when I make it?

EDIT: Coming from rails I was mixing templates and vi开发者_如何学Goews. I am still stuck but I think I need to make a function in my view. Something like:

def user_form:
    #stuff

You will need to create the template file using the format <app_label>/<model_name>_form.html. Place this template into the template directory as defined in TEMPLATE_DIRS in your settings file.

In the template file itself, you will need to use the context as defined by the standard ModelForm.

{{ form.name.label_tag }} {{ form.name }}

i don't think you need to create a view function. you need to provide a template (auth/user_form.html in this case, is also configurable) in your templates directory. The template needs to contain the necessary fields to create the new user object.

see the docs for this.
