Hi, depending on if a user is logged in or not, I want to display a "login" form or a "logout" button. I tried to use this code snippet:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/topics/auth/#id6 If I render my view using render_to_response("myTemplate.html") the user variable is empty. If I use render_to_response("myTemplate.html",context_instance=RequestContext(request)) I get the correct user and can display the username. But is_authenticated still always returns false!? Any hint what I might be doing wrong? According to the documentation "context_instance=RequestContext(request)" should only be required when passing a additional data dictionary to render_to_response. As passing data to a view and checking if the user is logged in should be something quite common, this sounds strange to me!? I want to display the user information / status in my master template, so having to pass a RequestContext into the template from each view would be very tedious. Feels like I'm on a complete wrong way!? Any hint would be very appreciated! cheers, Achim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
