accounts/signup/ not loading form

@dfurtado

After creating the views for user creation, when I try to test at http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/signup/,
the 'SignUp' form is not loading. I have cross-checked every bit of my code with your code and couldn't find any difference or errors. Any idea why my user signup page not loading the signup form? Stuck here since two days and can't move forward until it resolved. I have attached the screen shot of my blank page.

Appreciate your help.

User login page is working fine though! My code https://github.com/armaanreza/django-store/tree/main-app

hi @armaanreza
I've had a quick look at your code and I noticed that you are using double quotes in the extends and block tags in the template. I cloned your project to test it out and when I changed it to single quotes it worked fine, have a look at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Python-Programming-Blueprints/blob/master/Chapter07/gamestore/main/templates/main/signup.html

Let me know how it goes.

Hey @dfurtado

Thanks for the response.

I apologies for the typo but after fixing it, both signup page and login page got screwed up!
Look at the screenshot below.

So, just wanted to ask you for my reference that most developers are not using any quote at {% block content %} but we are using single quote i.e 'content' , why is that? Is this a Django2.0 requirement? You can see that 'PyCharm' is not so happy about it and saying "Block identifier expected" as shown above in first image right side.

Since I was trying to fix the form element alignment problem in signup.html as shown above that padding issue below Username input, I have figured out that if I use {{ form.as_p }} in signup.html then it fixes the issue but still not prettier than yours one that mentioned in your book. Your User name input box is aligned with First name input box which is kind of look prettier. I was trying to achieve it but failed.

I have pushed the code again to github so that you can review and help me to find about these form alignment issues in both login and signup page. I have changed all to ' ' except one mismatch. I think it should be 'placeholder': 'User name' instead of 'First name' in your code. I have changed mine to 'User name'

`class SignupForm(forms.Form):

username = forms.CharField(
    max_length=10,
    widget=forms.TextInput({
        'class': 'form_control',
        'placeholder': 'User name'
    })
)`

I greatly appreciate your time and support to look into these code issues. It means a lot to me.
