How do I use the built in password reset/change views with my own templates

Question

For example I can point the url \'^/accounts/password/reset/$\' to django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset with my template filename in the contex

Answer 1

You just need to wrap the existing functions and pass in the template you want. For example:

from django.contrib.auth.views import password_reset

def my_password_reset(request, template_name='path/to/my/template'):
    return password_reset(request, template_name)

To see this just have a look at the function declartion of the built in views:
