Hello All,
I'm completely new to Django and I've been following along with the excellent
video series from CodingEntrepreneurs on YouTube and applying what I can to my
project. I'm stuck on the authentication process. I don't believe that the
request is being passed to my template correctly because in the template, I'm
checking for authentication and if present, I'm displaying the content (or
trying to anyway) and if not, I'm rendering a message informing the user that
they're not logged in.
my app is title 'theapp' and I have a single view called 'index' that is
decorated with '@login_required' and redirecting to '/accounts/login'. I have
two users, both of which I created and activated. When I enter credentials, I'm
redirected right back to the login page. My view is pretty simple:
def index(request):
return render(request, 'index.html', {})
If my project is called 'thesite', in 'thesite/urls.py' I have these patterns:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^theapp/',
include('theapp.urls')),
url(r'^admin/',
admin.site.urls),
url(r'^login/$',
'django.contrib.auth.views.login',
{'template_name': 'login.html'},
name='login')
]
In my app urls ('theapp/urls.py') I have this pattern:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$',
views.index,
name='index'),
]
My 'base' form is like so:
<link rel="icon" href="http://getbootstrap.com/favicon.ico";>
<title>Login</title>
<!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
<link href="http://getbootstrap.com/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";

<!-- IE10 viewport hack for Surface/desktop Windows 8 bug -->
<script

</body>
</html>
I'm extending this with 'login.html' (purely for aesthetics) like this:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3'>
<h1>Login</h1>
<form method="post" action="{% url 'django.contrib.auth.view.login' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form|crispy }}
<input class='btn btn-block btn-primary' type="submit"
value="{% trans 'LOGIN' %}" />
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />
</form>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 text-align-center'>
<p>{% trans "Forgot password" %}? <a href="{% url 'auth_password_reset' %}">{%
trans "Reset it" %}</a>!</p>
<p>{% trans "Not member" %}? <a href="{% url 'registration_register' %}">{%
trans "Register" %}</a>!</p>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
I have all the necessary apps and middleware installed and referenced in
'thesite/settings.py'. I also have LOGIN_URL = '/login/' and LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL
= '/theapp/', static files are referenced appropriately as well. Everything
works fine when I don't have the login option available, so I'm pretty sure
it's some error on my part with the templates. Any and all help is greatly
appreciated!
Jason
