How do I use the built in password reset change views with my own templates

Question

For example I can point the url    accounts password reset    to django contrib auth views password reset with my template filename in the context but I think need to send more context details   I need to  know exactly what context to add for each of the password reset and change views

The documentation says that there only one context variable, form.

If you're having trouble with login (which is common), the documentation says there are three context variables:

form: A Form object representing the login form. See the forms documentation for more on Form objects.
next: The URL to redirect to after successful login. This may contain a query string, too.
site_name: The name of the current Site, according to the SITE_ID setting.

If you take a look at the sources for django contrib auth views password reset you ll see that it uses RequestContext  The upshot is  you can use Context Processors to modify the context which may allow you to inject the information that you need   The b-list has a good introduction to context processors   Edit  I seem to have been confused about what the actual question was    You ll notice that password reset takes a named parameter called template name   def password reset request  is admin site False               template name  registration password reset form html               email template name  registration password reset email html               password reset form PasswordResetForm               token generator default token generator              post reset redirect None     Check password reset for more information       thus  with a urls py like   from django conf urls defaults import   from django contrib auth views import password reset  urlpatterns   patterns           r   accounts password reset     password reset    template name    my templates password reset html                  django contrib auth views password reset will be called for URLs matching   accounts password reset  with the keyword argument template name    my templates password reset html    Otherwise  you don t need to provide any context as the password reset view takes care of itself  If you want to see what context you have available  you can trigger a TemplateSyntax error and look through the stack trace find the frame with a local variable named context  If you want to modify the context then what I said above about context processors is probably the way to go   In summary  what do you need to do to use your own template  Provide a template name keyword argument to the view when it is called  You can supply keyword arguments to views by including a dictionary as the third member of a URL pattern tuple

You just need to wrap the existing functions and pass in the template you want  For example   from django contrib auth views import password reset  def my password reset request  template name  path to my template        return password reset request  template name    To see this just have a look at the function declartion of the built in views   http   code djangoproject com browser django trunk django contrib auth views py L74

Another  perhaps simpler  solution is to add your override template directory to the DIRS entry of the TEMPLATES setting in settings py    I think this setting is new in Django 1 8   It may have been called TEMPLATE DIRS in previous Django versions    Like so   TEMPLATES                   BACKEND    django template backends django DjangoTemplates             allow overriding templates from other installed apps                                                                                                          DIRS     my app templates             APP DIRS   True       Then put your override template files under my app templates   So the overridden password reset template would be my app templates registration password reset form html
