override the send activation mail in django-registration

Question

I want to override the send_activation_email in django-registration app in order to be able to send mail with html content instead of just text. Note that this function is defined in the models of the RegistrationManager model.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Answer 1

Use custom model, example:

from registration.models import RegistrationProfile


class CustomRegistrationProfile(RegistrationProfile):
    """
    Custom registration profile
    """

    class Meta:
        proxy = True

    def send_activation_email(self, site):
        """
        Override method for custom send email
        """

Or, such a method override:

from registration.models import RegistrationProfile

def send_activation_email(self, site):
    """
    Override method for custom send email
    """

RegistrationProfile.send_activation_email = send_activation_email
