Hello,
Being brand new to Django I'm trying to write an authentification
page.
I used the example from the Django book and tried it myself.
Unfortunatly Iit does not work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My urls.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from fac import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^welcome/$', views.welcome),
(r'^login/$', views.login),
(r'^test/$', views.test),
)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.contrib import auth
def welcome(request):
return render_to_response('fac_login.html')
def login(request):
username = request.POST.get('username')
password = request.POST.get('password')
user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None and user.is_active:
# Correct password, and the user is marked "active"
auth.login(request, user)
return HttpResponse("Password correct")
else:
return HttpResponse("Password incorrect or nothing
entered")
def test(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello, world. This is the FAC test page.")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is also the structure of the example.
In the fac_login.html is have my Form that takes a password and user
name.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fac_login.hml
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
{% if form.errors %}
<p class="error">Sorry, that's not a valid username or password</
p>
{% endif %}
<form action='.' method='post'>
<label for="username">User name:</label>
<input type="text" name="username" value="" id="username">
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="password" value="" id="password">
<input type="submit" value="login">
</form>
{% endblock %}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I now start the test server and type the the url login into my
browser
I always get an "Password incorrect"
but my login page with the usernam and password field is never shown.
but wghen i type welcome url to my browser I see the page and can
enter a
username and password but nothing happens when I click the login
button.
How do I tell django to call the fac_login page first. and then when I
click the login button it
executes the login view?
