Hi Stefan,
If you roll your own login view, this can be done by simply
redirecting to the correct url after authentication. You would have to
come up with the correct url by looking at the groups. Consider
something like this:
def login_view(request):
# login and authenticate..
user = User object
url = get_redirect_url(user)
return HttpResponseRedirect(url)
def get_redirect_url(user):
if user.groups.filter(name = 'Manager'):
return '/managers'/
elif user.groups.filter(name = 'Users'):
return '/users/'
return '/'
This could be further improved by using some Django helpers, like
'redirect' and 'reverse'.
If you have many groups, you could improve this by having a dict
mapping group name to url. Consider something like this in your
settings
LOGIN_URL_MAP = {
'Managers': '/managers'/,
'Users': '/users':
}
Then 'get_redirect_url' could look something like this:
def get_redirect_url(user):
url = '/'
for group in user.groups.all():
url = settings.LOGIN_URL_MAP[group.name]
return url
Regards
Knut
