Render('django.contrib.auth.views.login') Pointing To Different Url Than {% Url 'django.contrib.auth.views.login' %}

I'm on Django 1.5.1 using the default implementation of the Django authentication system. INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'djan

Solution 1:

You want to use django authentication system:

Have this in your urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls'))
)

In your registration/login.html:

<form method="post" action="{% url login %}">

You want to provide a next_url in the logout, so whenever you want to call logout:

<a href="{% url logout %}?next=/accounts/login/">Logout</a>

Check line 191 of the link you pointed. They name /helpdesk/login/ as login and so your {% url login %} points to /helpdesk/login.

You must be having url(r'^helpdesk/', include('helpdesk.urls')) before url(r'^accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')) in your urls.py. Change the order of these two urls.

Solution 2:

this is what im using and getting it correct

<li><a href="{% url django.contrib.auth.views.login %}?next={{request.path}}">Login</a></li>

so i guess you have to remove the single quotes
