I haven't touched django in a couple of months (exams), and a lot has changed in that time - except for the need of something describing the user login/logout/registration features that django has.
Finding nothing substantial online except for a vague post about possibly maybe posting a ticket to suggest patch for something. Determined to write the thing myself, I started poking in the source and docs to see how this is all put together. Heres the problem: on redirecting to the login view I get a TemplateDoesNotExist exception django/contrib/admin/templates/registration/login.html (File does not exist) On line 27 of django/views/auth/login.py its looking for the template 'registration/login' - which doesn't exist, although it does exist at 'admin/login' Is this an error in login.py? Probably not I'm thinking ... should I simply copy+paste these views and templates into my own project and modify them there? That goes against DRY though and feels ... icky. Solutions/suggestions anyone? I intend to write some glue tutorials that bring together the relevant bits of the authentication and session docs, so if anyone has anything they think needs addressing - post it! Alice
