Django 1.0, using default password reset

Question

I'm trying to use the password reset setup that comes with Django, but the documentation is not very good for it. I'm using Django 1.0 and I keep getting this error:

Caught an exception while rendering: Reverse for 'mysite.django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments ...

in my urlconf I have something like this:

#django.contrib.auth.views
urlpatterns = patterns('django.contrib.auth.views',    
    (r'^password_reset/$', 'password_reset', {'template_name': 'accounts/registration/password_reset_form.html', 'email_template_name':'accounts/registration/password_reset_email.html', 'post_reset_redirect':'accounts/login/'}),
    (r'^password_reset/done/$', 'password_reset_done', {'template_name': 'accounts/registration/password_reset_done.html'}),
    (r'^reset/(?P<uidb36>[0-9A-Za-z]+)-(?P<token>.+)/$', 'password_reset_confirm', {'template_name': 'accounts/registration/password_reset_confirm.html', 'post_reset_redirect':'accounts/login/', 'post_reset_redirect':'accounts/reset/done/'}),
    (r'^reset/done/$', 'password_reset_complete', {'template_name': 'accounts/registration/password_reset_complete.html'}),
)

The problem seems to be in this file:

password_reset_email.html

on line 7

{% url django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm uidb36=uid, token=token %}

I'm at loss as to what's going on, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

This is a problem I figured out myself not 10 minutes ago. The solution is to add the post_change_redirect value to the dictionary of arguments you are passing to the password_reset view.

So this is what mine now look like:

(r'^/password/$', password_change, {'template_name': 'testing/password.html', 'post_change_redirect': '/account/'})

I hope that does it for you! I agree that the documentation for this particular feature is lacking somewhat, but this solved the exact same issue for my project.

Edit: I really should have scrolled across - you've included that already. Apologies for that, but I hope you get it sorted :)

Answer 2

Edit: I used your example, and had to change to not use keyword parameters.

{% url django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm uid, token %}

Named parameters do work, as long as both uid and token are defined. If either are not defined or blank I get the same error you do:

{% url django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm uidb36=uid, token=token %}

Answer 3

Just wanted to post the solution I came up with. The problem was in this line:

{% url django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm uidb36=uid, token=token %}

I'm not really a 100% why either, so I just hard coded the url like this:

http://mysite.com/accounts/reset/{{uid}}-{{token}}/
