Question

I want to make a user-registration form where I will have fields such first name, last name, email, re-email, and password.

So my question is how to validate so the input email and re-email is equal. I couldn’t find some help when reading the documentation for validation here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/validators/

I found this site when googled, but it seems Django has changed alot since 2006. Because AlwaysMatchOtherField doesn’t exist in 1.4

Here’s is the site

You can overwrite your forms clean method to do validate fields that rely on each other.

class MyForm(models.ModelForm):

    def clean(self):
        cleaned_data = super(MyForm, self).clean()
        if cleaned_data['email'] != cleaned_data['re_email']:
            raise forms.ValidationError("Your emails don't match")
        return cleaned_data

With regard a registration form, you should use django-registration
