Django-registration 0.8 error: register() takes at least 2 arguments (2 given)

I am trying to use the "simple" backend in django-registration 0.8, but my call to register yields the error "register() takes at least 2 arguments (2 given)" when I go to /accounts/register (as well as at /register)

My code is below.

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from registration.views import register


urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', 'app.views.home'),
    url(r'/accounts', include('registration.backends.simple.urls')),    
    url(r'register', 'registration.views.register', {'success_url':''}),
)
Solution

  • You haven't passed the correct two parameters. The register view requires two args: request and backend. Everything else (all the kwargs) are optional. Django automatically passes request and you passed in the success_url kwarg, so that's 2, but you're missing backend.
