Adding/changing logic in send_email method within django-registration-redux

Question

My site runs multiple domains. Users can register on each of these domains. As a result, I need to make django-registration-redux:

• use the correct email address for sending registration/password reset emails

• use the correct email password for sending registration/password reset emails

• use the correct domain within registration/password reset emails

I've been digging into the source code for django-registration-redux and believe that I need to update the send_email method within registration/models.py (https://github.com/macropin/django-registration/blob/master/registration/models.py) with my required changes.

I'm assuming the best way to add this cusomtization is as follows:

• run 'pip uninstall django-registration-redux==2.2'

• run 'pip freeze > requirements.txt'

• from the source code, pull the 'registration' folder into my project

• go into myproject/registration/models.py and manually update the send_email method so that it includes my changes.

Is there an easier or more correct way to build my custom logic into def send_email without making the changes noted above?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Solution is to add a context processor that grabs the company name and website based on the current website, which can be accessed via request, and then reference the context variable within the django-registration email templates :)
