I am happy to tell anyone who is trying to do the same mistake I was
doing for the past day probably!! that, forms are loaded empty for
something to be put in them and then PROCESSED accordingly.
I was trying to LOAD and PROCESS the form together. so the order is:
direct browser to LOAD the login_form, THEN in the ACTION direct the
browser to PROCESS the form.
BUT now I have another problem...
why i cannot sign anyone in? i hav created users who are NOT staff and
users who are staff and a superuser as well. using the code I had
mentioned early with my development server should I be able to sign in?
in my view I have these: first to load the log in form, i direct the
browser here =>
#clean up and test cookies
def login(request):
if request.POST:
if request.session.test_cookie_worked():
request.session.delete_test_cookie()
return HttpResponse("You're logged in.")
else:
return HttpResponse("Please enable cookies and try again.")
request.session.set_test_cookie()
return render_to_response('claims/login_form')
THEN TO PROCESS THE FORM =>
def dologin(request):
m = users.get_object( username__exact = request.POST['username'] )
if m.password == request.POST['password']:
request.session['user_id'] = m.id
return HttpResponse("You're logged in.")
else:
return HttpResponse("Your username and password didn't match.")
I ALWAYS get the didnt match response!
any clues????
many thanks
