I am working on a django project with MySQL. I am working on the signup part for the candidate with an activation link sent in the email. When I connected django to MySQL Workbench, It generated a Model file including the "Candidats form" which I am using in my view.
The problem is that I cannot decode the uidb64 from the URL. I can send a link in the email but it always return "Activation went wrong" and when I debugged my code I found out that my methid is not returing the uid but None.
This is my view.py
from django.urls import reverse
from .tokenssss import token_generator
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
from django.contrib.sites.shortcuts import get_current_site
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.utils.encoding import force_bytes, force_str
from django.utils.http import urlsafe_base64_encode, urlsafe_base64_decode
from django.views import View
from .models import Candidats, Recruteurs
def sign_up_candidat(request):
if request.method == "POST":
nom = request.POST.get('nom')
prenom = request.POST.get('prenom')
date = request.POST.get('date')
sexe = request.POST.get('sexe')
telephone = request.POST.get('telephone')
email = request.POST.get('email')
password = request.POST.get('pass')
password_c = request.POST.get('pass_c')
if password != password_c:
return HttpResponse("Confirmation password went wrong")
else:
my_user = Candidats(nomcandidat=nom, prenomcandidat=prenom, datenaissance=date, sexe=sexe,
telephonecandidat=telephone, emailcandidat=email, passwordcandidat=password)
uidb64 = urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(my_user.idcandidat))
domain = get_current_site(request).domain
link = reverse('activate',kwargs={'uidb64': uidb64,'token':token_generator.make_token(my_user)})
activate_url = "http://"+domain+link
email_body = 'Bonjour '+ my_user.nomcandidat+" "+my_user.prenomcandidat+" \n activation link "+activate_url
mail = EmailMessage(
'Confirmation mail',
email_body,
'medjahedwassim@yahoo.com',
[email],
)
mail.send(fail_silently=False)
my_user.save()
return HttpResponse("Check your mail")
else:
return render(request, 'signup_candidat.html')
class VerificationView(View):
def get(self,request,uidb64,token):
try:
uid = force_str(urlsafe_base64_decode(uidb64))
myuser = Candidats.objects.get(idcandidat=uid)
except(TypeError, ValueError, OverflowError, Candidats.DoesNotExist):
myuser = None
if myuser is not None and token_generator.check_token(myuser, token):
token_generator.check_token(myuser, token)
myuser.isactive = True
myuser.save()
return HttpResponse("activation done")
else:
return HttpResponse('Activation went wrong')
This is the url.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
from .views import VerificationView
urlpatterns = [
path('signup/', views.signup,name='signup'),
path('signup/candidat/', views.sign_up_candidat, name='sign_up_candidat'),
path('signup/recruteur/', views.sign_up_recruteur, name='sign_up_recruteur'),
path('activate/<uidb64>/<token>',VerificationView.as_view(),name='activate')
]
This is the token file:
from django.contrib.auth.tokens import PasswordResetTokenGenerator
from six import text_type
class AppTokenGenerator(PasswordResetTokenGenerator):
def _make_hash_value(self, user, timestamp):
return (
text_type(user.isactive) + text_type(user.idcandidat)+text_type(timestamp)
)
token_generator = AppTokenGenerator()
I know there are things missing in my view but I just wanted to make sure it works and return back to the code later.
I tried a lot of tutorials in Youtube but I am facing the same problem.
