override django-allauth default forms

Question

I want to override the default forms of django-allauth in order to change\\add default widget attributes, class variables without changing the initial code of allauth form. How

Answer 1

You can override any (or all) of the allauth default templates by creating your own tree of template files.

The naming of the hierarchy must match allauth, e.g. this is from my project:

allauthdemo/templates/
├── allauth
│   ├── account
│   └── socialaccount
├── my
├── other
├── template
└── dirs

The template settings in settings.py must include those dirs, e.g.:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [
        os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'allauthdemo', 'templates', 'allauth'),
        os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'allauthdemo', 'templates'),
    ],
    ...

This allauth demo on github shows how to do it. Disclaimer: I wrote that demo.
