Having looked through the archived posts, i found a similar problem
that had found no solution:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/bf056018de75c6b5/12723e786ce0fa6e?lnk=gst&q=login#12723e786ce0fa6e
It looks like django is not actually logging my user in, or not
creating a session. I have a very simple snippet for login
functionality pretty much lifted directly from the docs:
from django.contrib.auth import logout, login, authenticate
def login(request):
news_list = New.objects.all().order_by('-date')
if request.method == 'POST':
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
if user.is_active:
auth.login(request,user)
return render_to_response('main.html', locals())
else:
return render_to_response('registration.html', locals())
settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.admin',
'intrinsic.site',
)
When i was running this project under .96 i never had this issue.
It's as if the auth.login line is somehow failing silently. I've
tested and am absolutely sure that the code does everything it should
but that one auth.login line. So because of this i can't get at the
{{user}} variable in my templates. Any help, or suggestions for
debugging attempts would be great.
