*23 Jan 2015* <div class="posthaven-post-body"> Here's how to redirect to the login page in django, making it go to a certain view (by name) after a successful login: login_url = '%s?next=%s' % (reverse('acct_login'), reverse('jumplog_index')) return HttpResponseRedirect(login_url) Notes: acct_login is django's view name for the login page (double check this, as it might change in future django versions); jumplog_index is the target view where I want the user to go after successfully logging in. UPDATE: An alternative, much more awesome, is to use the @login_required decorator on the view you want login to be required. Like so: @login_required def index(request): \# Your code here The decorator can be imported from this module: from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required I guess the first dirtier method can be used when you want to do something more custom, like sending some data to the login view, or something like that :) Thanks for the tip, Steve :) </div> [[tags/code_snipplets|code_snipplets]] [[tags/software_development|software_development]] [[tags/tips|tips]]
