Login page

[azjps]

Hi @czue, just wanted to thank you for making this project available. We used as the starting point for our wedding website over a year ago and were really happy with the outcome. As a python dev who hasn't really worked with Django or frontend before, there's no way I would have managed to get anything reasonable in time without having this to start from 😄

We added a few things like a login page, a savable RSVP form, and some clunky JavaScript effects:

Some notes about some technical items that I could contribute back upstream:

• The login page was created from a CustomAuthForm based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43542442 and using django-widget-tweaks
• We wanted multiple guests of the same party to be able to login through any of their emails, so we added a derived guests.backends.ModelBackend which looks up the corresponding Guest object and returning its guest.party.user.
• We set up a custom context processor (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/433162/) to pass through certain settings "globally" as variables to jinja2 rather than having to specify them as arguments to render().
• We used dotenv to manage credentials
• We refactored the CSS stylesheet colors to use CSS variables
• We added a generic QuestionAnswer model to allow us to add arbitrary questions and guests to provide arbitrary answers in the RSVP form

The resulting code had a lot of last minute hacks so I don't think I'll upload the end result, but I'd be happy to try to separate out some of the above items.

Wow, looks great! Also glad the project was useful. :)

I'd definitely happily take contributions. The dotenv update and CSS variables seem like no-brainers. The rest sound useful but also maybe unique to specific use cases. If you feel like they can be incorporated in a generic way that would be useful to everyone and want to go through the trouble of packaging them up, you're welcome to send them across as PRs and I'll have a look. Another possibly easier idea would be to add a link to your repo to the README as an example of a site with some of these additional features...
