Django/ user registration by email activation - in class based view - django

Question

I'm trying to register users but not making them active until they activate their accounts withe the email activation link but..
I get a 'UserBase' object has no attribute 'email_user' error
and when changing it to 'email' instead of 'user_email' i get a
'str' object is not callable error
I get the activation link from the error page and it works when trying it on another tab (makes account active)
View:
class UserReigster(CreateView):
model = UserBase
form_class = Registration
template_name = 'account/registration/registration.html'

user = form.save()
# Email Activation Setup
current_site = get_current_site(self.request)
subject = 'Activate Your Account'
message = render_to_string('account/registration/account_activation_email.html', {
'user':user,
'domain':current_site.domain,
'uid': urlsafe_base64_encode(force_bytes(user.pk)),
'token':account_activation_token.make_token(user),
})
user.email_user(subject=subject, message=message)
# Success registration message
messages.add_message(
self.request,
messages.SUCCESS,
'Check Your Email For Account Activation Link'
)
return super().form_valid(form)

Using AbstractbaseUser in custom User you deleted the method email_user
You need to create it again in the custom user model:
def email_user(self, *args, **kwargs):
send_mail(
'{}'.format(args[0]),
'{}'.format(args[1]),
'{}'.format(args[2]),
[self.email],
fail_silently=False,
)
