You can specify the success_url which will redirect the user to that url on successful registration.

In order to display a message a simple approach would be add a get parameter in the success_url also, but you have to modify the view to get it from request.GET and place in your request context.

in urls.py:

url(r'^register/$', 'registration.views.register',
  {
    'backend': 'trabam.apps.accounts.regbackend.Backend',
    'form_class' : UserRegistrationForm,
    'success_url': '/accounts/register/?on_success=true'
  },
    name='registration_register'
 ),

in view:

on_success = request.GET.get('on_success', None)
context.update({'on_success': on_success})

in template:

{% if on_success %}
    <p>You are successfully registered</p>
{% endif %}

It seems from your urls.py that you are sending the success_url as the register view itself. You can’t do this because it would require you to change register view if you want to send a message in the context after successful registration.

So, you need to write an extra view. Suppose this file is accounts/views.py.

from registration.forms import RegistrationForm
def registration_complete(request):
    .....
    form = RegistrationForm()
    .....
    message = "You are successfully registered"
    return render_to_response("registration/registration_form.html", {'form': form, 'message': message})

The template registration/registration_form.html is the same that will be used by django-registration.

accounts/urls.py

url(r'^registration_complete/', 'accounts.views.registration_complete', name='accounts_registration_complete'),

Your urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^registration/register/$', 'registration.register', {'backend': 'registration.backends.default.DefaultBackend', 'success_url': 'accounts_registration_complete'}),
    (r'^registration/', include('registration.urls')),)

registration/registration_form.html

{% if message %}
    {{message}}
{% endif %}
.......
{{form.as_p}}

So, only after successful registration, your success_url will be used which will call the view registration_complete defined by you. This view will send message in the context which the registration template can use.
