django-registration view customization

I'm using django-registration (see: https://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registratio开发者_Python百科n ) on one of my projects. The standard setup for the django-registration is to add a the code below in the urls.py file

(r'^accounts/', include('registration.urls'))

and also customize the templates in a folder called registration.

The code above is creating links to the registration, login and password recovery which is fine. But in my project there are some other functions I usually add to my views so if I just add the include('registration.urls') it appears that I have no way of customizing the views containing those django-registration forms.

Is there a way to call the forms used by the django-registrationin a view so I can add a few more things on those views ?

The registration form is provided by the registration backend. Check out registration.backends.default.DefaultBackend.

There's a method get_form_class(request) that returns the registration.forms.RegistrationForm class. All you have to do is create a new backend, inherit from DefaultBackend and override the get_form_class() method to return a new form class.

You can pretty much do anything by providing a custom backend, except changing the base behavior of the registration app. If you need to radically customize the views in a manner that providing a custm backend doesn't make the cut, then just create a authn or users app and import any bits from django-registration you find useful. You can, say, keep the default models and managers within the registration app namespace, but hook up a custom backend to your own internals in a new app.
