Django registration: Redirect after registering fails because of missing argument

Question

I am currently going through the tango with django tutorial and trying to implement django registration with redirect after it was successful.

I followed both the tutorial and what I found in a linkanother question.

When I register, I get

TypeError at /accounts/register/
get_success_url() missing 1 required positional argument: 'user'

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import include, url, patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from registration.backends.simple.views import RegistrationView

class MyRegistrationView(RegistrationView):
    def get_success_url(self, request, user):
        return '/student/'


urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^student/', include('student.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

    # Add in this url pattern to override the default pattern in accounts.
    url(r'^accounts/register/$', MyRegistrationView.as_view(), name='registration_register'),
    url(r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.simple.urls')),
    url(r'', include('registration.auth_urls')),

]

Anyone an idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Things have changed from then, now you supply 'user' as first positional argument. And there is no request argument for get_success_url method. Your code should look like this:

class MyRegistrationView(RegistrationView):
    def get_success_url(self, user):
        return '/student/'
