Setup
=====

You have to add the app to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` and also include some URLs in
your ``urlconf``:

.. code-block:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'signup',
        ...
    )

.. code-block:: python

    urlpatterns = patterns('',
        ...
        url(r'^accounts/', include('signup.urls')),
        ...
    )


Settings
--------

There are two settings specific to ``django-signup``.

.. _setting-activation-days:

``SIGNUP_ACTIVATION_DAYS``
**************************

This controls for how many days an instance of
:py:class:`signup.models.Validation` will be valid before being considered
"expired". It is used on the :ref:`clear_expired_signups` management command.

If not set in the user settings, the default value is **2 days**.

``SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS``
*********************

A string with the full dotted name of a class representing the form to be used
on the signup page.

If not specified, the :py:class:`signup.forms.DefaultUserCreationForm` class is
used.
