Automatically log in user after django-registration activation

gistfile1.py

from registration.signals import user_activated
from django.contrib.auth import login, authenticate

def login_on_activation(sender, user, request, **kwargs):
    """Logs in the user after activation"""
    user.backend = 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend'
    login(request, user)

# Registers the function with the django-registration user_activated signal
user_activated.connect(login_on_activation)

Thanks for this; I also didn't know where to put the signal.

Why do you need to specify user.backend here?

Thanks a lot ! Still works in Registration-Redux. Should definitively be integrated into standard registration-redux.

User received through signal does not contain any auth backend, that's why you need to specify it in that code.

It says 'No module named 'registration'
