# The simple one-step workflow

As an alternative to the HMAC and model-based two-step (registration and activation) workflows, django-registration bundles a one-step registration workflow in `registration.backends.simple`. This workflow is deliberately as simple as possible:

1. A user signs up by filling out a registration form.

2. The user’s account is created and is active immediately, with no intermediate confirmation or activation step.

3. The new user is logged in immediately.

## Configuration

To use this workflow, simply include the URLconf `registration.backends.simple.urls` somewhere in your site’s own URL configuration. For example:

    from django.conf.urls import include, url

    urlpatterns = [
        # Other URL patterns ...
        url(r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.simple.urls')),
        # More URL patterns ...
    ]

To control whether registration of new accounts is allowed, you can specify the setting `REGISTRATION_OPEN`.

Upon successful registration, the user will be redirected to the site’s home page – the URL `/`. This can be changed by subclassing `registration.backends.simple.views.RegistrationView` and overriding the method `get_success_url()`.

The default form class used for account registration will be `registration.forms.RegistrationForm`, although this can be overridden by supplying a custom URL pattern for the registration view and passing the keyword argument `form_class`, or by subclassing `registration.backends.simple.views.RegistrationView` and either overriding `form_class` or implementing `get_form_class()`, and specifying the custom subclass in your URL patterns.

## Templates

The one-step workflow uses only one custom template:

registration/registration_form.html

Used to show the form users will fill out to register. By default, has the following context:

`form`

  The registration form. This will likely be a subclass of `RegistrationForm`; consult Django’s forms documentation for information on how to display this in a template.
