How to disable email activation in django-registration app?

Answer 1

Better to fix the problem at the root than bandage it by calling commands to automatically activate the user.

Add this method to registration models.py:

   def create_active_user(self, username, email, password,
                             site):
        """
        Create a new, active ``User``, generate a
        ``RegistrationProfile`` and email its activation key to the
        ``User``, returning the new ``User``.
        """
        new_user = User.objects.create_user(username, email, password)
        new_user.is_active = True
        new_user.save()

        registration_profile = self.create_profile(new_user)

        return new_user
    create_active_user = transaction.commit_on_success(create_active_user)

Then, edit registration/backend/defaults/init.py and find the register() method.

Change the following to call your new method:

#new_user = RegistrationProfile.objects.create_inactive_user(username, email,
                                                            #password, site)
new_user = RegistrationProfile.objects.create_active_user(username, email,
                                                            password, site)
