email_confirmation = EmailConfirmation.objects.set_email_for_object(
    email=unconfirmed_email,
    content_object=user,
)

For Any Model And Any Field

Assumed you have a model:

from django.db import models

class YourModel(models.Model):
    ...
    customer_support_email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True)
    marketing_email = models.EmailField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True)
    ...

And you want to confirm some emails:

from your_app.models import YourModel
from email_confirm_la.models import EmailConfirmation

some_model_instance = YourModel.objects.get(id=42)

email_confirmation = EmailConfirmation.objects.set_email_for_object(
    email='marvin@therestaurantattheendoftheuniverse.com',
    content_object=some_model_instance,
    email_field_name='customer_support_email'
)

email_confirmation = EmailConfirmation.objects.set_email_for_object(

    content_object=some_model_instance,
    email_field_name='marketing_email'
)

In your models.py:

from django.dispatch import receiver
from email_confirm_la.signals import post_email_confirm

@receiver(post_email_confirm)
def post_email_confirm_callback(sender, confirmation, **kwargs):
    model_instace = confirmation.content_object
    email = confirmation.email

    do_your_stuff()

Commands

$ python manage.py clear_expired_email_confirmations

Templates

You will want to override the project’s email text and confirmation page.

Ensure the email_confirm_la app in INSTALLED_APPS is after the app that you will place the customized templates in so that the django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader finds your templates before the default templates.

Then copy the templates into your app:

$ cp -R django-email-confirm-la/email_confirm_la/templates/email_confirm_la your_app/templates/email_confirm_la

Finally, modify them:

• email/email_confirmation_subject.txt: Produces the subject line of the email.

• email/email_confirmation_message.html: The HTML body of the email.

• email_confirm_success.html: What the user sees after clicking a confirmation link (on success).

• email_confirm_fail.html: What the user sees after clicking a confirmation link that has expired or is invalid.

Settings

Default values of app settings:

EMAIL_CONFIRM_LA_EMAIL_BACKEND = settings.EMAIL_BACKEND
EMAIL_CONFIRM_LA_HTTP_PROTOCOL = 'http'
EMAIL_CONFIRM_LA_DOMAIN = ''  # remember to override this setting!
EMAIL_CONFIRM_LA_CONFIRM_EXPIRE_SEC = 60 * 60 * 24 * 1  # 1 day
EMAIL_CONFIRM_LA_CONFIRM_URL_REVERSE_NAME = 'confirm_email'
EMAIL_CONFIRM_LA_SAVE_EMAIL_TO_INSTANCE = True
