[Django]-Django third party app name conflicts

Do this to resolve the 3rd party app name conflicts:

you can follow these steps.

– Create a Custom AppConfig for "django-allauth"

You can create a custom AppConfig for the "account" app within the "django-allauth" package to change its name and label. This should help in avoiding the conflict with the "django-user-accounts" package. Here’s how you can do it:

In your project structure, create the following files:

your_project/
├── allauth
│   ├── account
│   │   ├── apps.py
│   │   └── __init__.py
│   └── __init__.py
└── your_project/
    ├── __init__.py
    └── settings.py

and in "allauth/account/apps.py", define a custom AppConfig for the "account" app:

# allauth/account/apps.py

from django.apps import AppConfig

class CustomAccountAppConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'allauth.account'  # Set the full app name
    label = 'custom_account'  # Set a unique label for the app
    verbose_name = 'Custom Account'  # Set a human-readable name

    def ready(self):
        # Import signals and connect them here if needed
        pass

Update "allauth" AppConfig in settings.py:

In your project’s "settings.py" file, make sure to use the custom AppConfig you created for the "account" app within the "allauth" package:

# your_project/settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'allauth.account.apps.CustomAccountAppConfig',  # Use the custom AppConfig
    # ...
]

Verify Subpackages and Applications:

Ensure that the other subpackages and applications within "django-allauth" are not affected by this change. The custom AppConfig should only affect the "account" app, leaving the rest of the "allauth" functionality intact.

Import Naming Changes:

If you were using the "account" namespace in your code to access features from these packages, you’ll need to update the imports to reflect the new naming. For example:

# Before
from allauth.account.models import UserProfile

# After
from allauth.account.models import UserProfile

Why this approch:

This approach should resolve the naming conflict between "django-user-accounts" and "django-allauth" while keeping the other subpackages and applications within "django-allauth" working as expected.

Note: Remember to test the changes thoroughly to ensure everything is functioning as intended.

Hope it helps.
