Hello there, have you created a forms.py file inside the users app and then the class RegisterForm?

jbhrfx9280 • Aug 24 '22

Yes created forms.py inside users app and RegisterForm. I have copied all your code. I have done a couple of django / app projects myself, no issues. Normally they are path related. Everything else works in your 10 part series so far but this. Some screenshots:

You have created forms.py inside users/templates/users directory. It should be in users/ that means where views.py, models.py and other files are located, so move it to the correct directory and let me know.

I figured it out. My mistake, I had forms.py in the template/users folder. I know better than that. There was another minor error with finding home that I fixed. I'm in chapter 6 now "Django social apps auth". After installing social-auth-app-django (verified pip list) and updating settings.py, migrate etc, I'm now getting an error after code edit in user_management/urls.py. Error: "ImportError: cannot import name 'url' from django.conf.urls (c:..... Seems to not like "from django.conf.urls import url" in projects urls.py file. So need to figure out why. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you. John

Ok so the issue is url has been removed from django 4. It's replaced by re_path. That's the fix.

Things have also changed with Google. Before u can use oauth you must use a verified fqdn and must have url to terms of service and public policy url etc. Then several stages of verifications. So cannot just hit Google and get creds to do oauth. Maybe jeed to update yor thread with the things that have changed. My 2 cents. Still love your tutorial.
