I'm unable to activate users via the activation link.
How can I correctly configure the path to process their request?
My config:
DJOSER = {
'PASSWORD_RESET_CONFIRM_URL': 'api/v1/auth/users/password/reset/confirm/{uid}/{token}',
'USERNAME_RESET_CONFIRM_URL': 'api/v1/auth/users/username/reset/confirm/{uid}/{token}',
'ACTIVATION_URL': 'api/v1/auth/users/activate/{uid}/{token}',
'SEND_ACTIVATION_EMAIL': True,
'SEND_CONFIRMATION_EMAIL': True,
'SERIALIZERS': {},
# 'USER_ID_FIELD': '',
'LOGIN_FIELD': 'username',
'USER_CREATE_PASSWORD_RETYPE': True,
'SET_USERNAME_RETYPE': True,
'USERNAME_RESET_CONFIRM_RETYPE': True,
'SOCIAL_AUTH_ALLOWED_REDIRECT_URIS': [],
'HIDE_USERS': True,
'EMAIL': {
'activation': 'api.email.ActivationEmail',
'confirmation': 'api.email.ConfirmationEmail',
'password_reset': 'api.email.PasswordResetEmail',
'password_changed_confirmation': 'api.email.PasswordChangedConfirmationEmail',
'username_changed_confirmation': 'api.email.UsernameChangedConfirmationEmail',
'username_reset': 'api.email.UsernameResetEmail',
}
}
path('auth/', include('djoser.urls')),
path('auth/', include('djoser.urls.jwt')),
path('auth/', include('djoser.urls.authtoken')),
I had to specificy an endpoint where the uid and token and would be included in the parameters. This endpoint directed to a view that would handle these parameters. Then send a post request to the djoser activation endpoint. we cannot directly use the url given by djoser because it expects a post request whereas the user will submit a get request by clicking the link in the email. setting:
DJOSER = {
'ACTIVATION_URL': 'account-activate/{uid}/{token}/',
}
view:
class ActivateUser(GenericAPIView):
def get(self, request, uid, token, format = None):
payload = {'uid': uid, 'token': token}
url = "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/users/activation/"
response = requests.post(url, data = payload)
if response.status_code == 204:
return Response({}, response.status_code)
else:
return Response(response.json())
a similar solution here but djoser updated since they posted their answer and I had to make some changes.
