CBV - PasswordChangeDoneView

From Classy Class Based Views PasswordChangeDoneView

Render a template. Pass keyword arguments from the URLconf to the context.

Attributes

• template_name: Much like the LogoutView the default view is the Django skin. Create your own password_change_done.html file to keep the user experience consistent across the site.
• title: the default uses the function gettext_lazy() and passes the string ‘Password change successful’. The function gettext_lazy() will translate the text into the local language if a translation is available. I’d just keep the default on this.

Example

views.py

class myPasswordChangeDoneView(PasswordChangeDoneView):
    pass

urls.py

path('password_change_done_view/', views.myPasswordChangeDoneView.as_view(), name='password_change_done_view'),

password_change_done.html

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>
    {% block title %}
        {{ title }}
    {% endblock %}
    </h1>
<p>{% trans "Password changed" %}</p>
{% endblock %}

settings.py

LOGIN_URL = '/<app_name>/login_view/'

The above assumes that have this set up in your urls.py

Special Notes

You need to set the URL_LOGIN value in your settings.py. It defaults to /accounts/login/. If that path isn’t valid you’ll get a 404 error.

Conclusion

Again, not much to do here. Let Django do all of the heavy lifting, but be mindful of the needed work in settings.py and the new template you’ll need/want to create
