Django custom PasswordResetForm

django, forms, python-2.7

Solution

So you're getting that error because it's trying to call a method on a instance that's set to `None`. Here's the correct view you should use:

@cache_control(max_age=0, no_cache=True, no_store=True, must_revalidate=True)
def fpassword(request):
    form = FpasswordForm(request.POST or None)
    if form.is_valid():
        email = form.cleaned_data["email"]
        if function_checkemail(email):
            form.save(from_email='blabla@blabla.com', email_template_name='registration/password_reset_email.html', request=request)
            print "EMAIL SENT"
        else:
            print "UNKNOWN EMAIL ADRESS"

Another option would be to enable the Django Sites Framework. Then you wouldn't have to pass in request because `get_current_site` would return the site current instance. Here's a link to that logic.

Problem

I am trying to use the PasswordResetForm built-in function. As I want to have custom form fields, I wrote my own form: ``` class FpasswordForm(PasswordResetForm): email = forms.CharField(max_length=30, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'autofocus': 'autofocus'})) class Meta: model = User fields = ("email") def clean_email(self): email = self.cleaned_data['email'] if function_checkemaildomain(email) == False: raise forms.ValidationError("Untrusted email domain") elif function_checkemailstructure(email)==False: raise forms.ValidationError("This is not an email adress.") return email ``` And here is my view in views.py ``` @cache_control(max_age=0, no_cache=True, no_store=True, must_revalidate=True) def fpassword(request): form = FpasswordForm(request.POST or None) if form.is_valid(): email = form.cleaned_data["email"] if function_checkemail(email): form.save(from_email='blabla@blabla.com', email_template_name='registration/password_reset_email.html') print "EMAIL SENT" else: print "UNKNOWN EMAIL ADRESS" ``` And my email template is: ``` {% autoescape off %} You're receiving this e-mail because you requested a password reset for your user account at {{ site_name }}. Please go to the following page and choose a new password: {% block reset_link %} {{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}{% url "django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm" uidb36=uid token=token %} {% endblock %} Your username, in case you've forgotten: {{ user.username }} Thanks for using our site! The {{ site_name }} team. {% endautoescape %} ``` The problem is that I have a `'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_host'` error... The traceback log is telling me that in `current_site = RequestSite(request)` , request is `None`. Maybe I have something else to add in my `save()` in views.py ? When I use the following method without custom fields in my form and built-in views, all is working good: http://garmoncheg.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/django-resetting-passwords-with.html
