For future reference, this is what I use now:
class LoginMixin(object):
def get_test_func(self):
return getattr(self, 'test_func', lambda u: u.is_authenticated())
def get_login_url(self):
return getattr(self, 'login_url', None)
def get_redirect_field_name(self):
return getattr(self, 'redirect_field_name', None)
def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import user_passes_test
return user_passes_test(
self.get_test_func(),
login_url = self.get_login_url(),
redirect_field_name = self.get_redirect_field_name()
)(super(LoginMixin, self).dispatch
)(request, *args, **kwargs)
class DashboardView(LoginMixin, TemplateView):
login_url = '/base/login'
template_name = 'dashboard.html'
LoginMixin *must* be the first base class, otherwise it could not
override View.dispatch in the other base classes.
