Verify email

[jamesgeddes]

Allow user to click link in email to verify email ownership.

Email should show as unverified in member_details until verification is complete

Emails should come from hq@geek.zone

Potential options

• https://pypi.org/project/django-email-verification/
• https://pypi.org/project/Django-Verify-Email/

[jamesgeddes]

Would be best to be able to call the verification at a point of our choosing which appears to be easier in django-email-verification

I'm getting 'User has no member' in line 157 of views.py:
"form": MemberDetailsForm(instance=request.user.member),

There are a couple ways you could go about it.

There is a file in the project called something like db.sqlite which you can just delete and then run the migrate command.

Another way is to create a superuser account which you can then use to login to the admin panel and delete your user account.

And finally you could open the db.sqlite file in a sqlite database tool and delete stuff that way.

Personally I just create a superuser account and delete or modify stuff that way.

How was this user created? A user will only have a member associated with it if it was created via the registration form, or at least via the Member.create method

Thanks Carwyn! Created a superuser now and deleted that way

Hmm.. that is very strange. I would probably have to see what you are doing to get a better idea of some further debugging steps

[jamesgeddes]

@Freshrojek Can you record a loom?

[Freshrojek]

Ahh as I was recording a loom, I found out the problem, I hadn't clicked the 'log out' button before I tried to log in - I forgot that once you sign up it has you already logged in.

@Freshrojek How are you getting on with this?

@Freshrojek How are you getting on with this

Tried to send a commit today but was in the library and uni WiFi is something else. Verify email will only work if the registration form is a modelForm and meets some confusing requirements that would mean changing our form, so I'm in the proceeds of creating our own verification function, I have made a code and been able to send it but just gotta verify it now

[jamesgeddes]

If you cannot get it to work on-demand, go with sending an email on the registration form. We can improve it later.

[Freshrojek]

With my last commit on the branch, I'm pretty sure it's all done! Sunday when I'm back on hopefully I'll be able to check and make a pull request.
