1. i don't know whether it is expected behavior or not. But here are some ways to solve the above problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why it is not accepting @ character in admin ?
As the username of UserCreation form ( from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm ) form associated with alphanumeric regular expression it is not accepting @: regex=r'^\w+$' (below you see the code) How to change the form to accept it? ------------------------------------------------------- Solution1: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Please follow the below link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/471550/customizing-an-admin-form-in-django-while-also-using-autodiscover 1.instead of list_filter change the add_form 2.change UserCreationForm(django.contrib.auth.form.......) to accept @ for username ( this i hope you can do be creating an instance and changing the field attributes) 3.associate the changed UserCreationForm to add_form Then you can able to accept @. ( i haven;t tested it) Solution 2: ------------------- Write a new authentication backend which authenticates based on email and password more details : http://bit.ly/hekni Solution 3: ---------------------- 1.Give the email address in email field 2.move this email to username once user object is being saved by catching the postsignal.
