django-registration: Where should I put the "registration" directory?

I'm using the django-registration app from https://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/, and I'm a bit confused as to where I should place it.

I've added "registration" under INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py (as instructed), but shouldn't the registration app mentioned be in my project directory, with all my other apps? This seems to make more sense to me than having it somewhere else (ie. PYTHONPATH).

So, I'm thinking of cloning the repo, just grabbing django-registration's registration app, abandoning all the other files included in django-registration (INSTALL, README, docs, etc.), and sticking that registration app in my project directory.

This way, I can edit the models to include more fields, reflect that in the forms, etc.

Is this wrong?

(Sorry, it's my first large Django project)

Solution

  • Normally you wouldn't touch the files of django-registration - if you want to add your own custom fields for a user profile, you'd do something like this:
