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
If you'd like to use the methods or functionalities provided by the allauth forms then overriding the form classes like you currently are is your best bet.
from allauth.account.forms import LoginForm
from django import forms
from myapp.forms import widgets
class MyLoginForm(LoginForm):
// Override attributes
existing_field = forms.CharField(widget=widgets.CustomWidget())
// Add Custom Attributes
new_field = forms.CharField(widget=widgets.CustomWidget())
If you want a completely custom form, you can use a custom django form and then use it in the view. For Example:
from django import forms
from myapp.forms import widgets
class MyLoginForm(forms.Form):
// Add atributes and methods
some_field = forms.CharField(widget=widgets.CustomWidget())
from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
from myapp.forms import MyLoginForm
LoginUser(FormView):
form = MyLoginForm
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.
