Hi,
I created a backends.py in my project folder.
backends.py ::
*from django.conf import settings*
*from django.contrib.auth.models import User*
*
*
*class EmailOrUsernameModelBackend(object):*
* def authenticate(self, username=None, password=None):*
* if '@' in username:*
* kwargs = {'email': username}*
* else:*
* kwargs = {'username': username}*
* try:*
* user = User.objects.get(**kwargs)*
* if user.check_password(password):*
* return user*
* except User.DoesNotExist:*
* return None*
*
*
* def get_user(self, user_id):*
* try:*
* return User.objects.get(pk=user_id)*
* except User.DoesNotExist:*
* return None*
*
*
And in the views.py,
*from django.contrib import auth*
*from django.contrib.auth.models import User*
*from tangle.backends import EmailOrUsernameModelBackend*
*
*
*def authentication(request):*
* username = request.POST.get('username', '')*
* password = request.POST.get('password', '')*
* user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)*
* if user is not None:*
* auth.login(request, user)*
* return HttpResponseRedirect('/loggedin/')*
* else:*
* return HttpResponseRedirect('/invalid_login')*
*
*
Settings.py
*AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (*
* 'backends.EmailOrUsernameModelBackend',*
* 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend'*
*)*
*
*
Now when I login using either username or email it shows an error "global
name 'authenticate' is not defined"
So, I used
*user = EmailOrUsernameModelBackend.authenticate(username=username,
password=password)*
*
*
It shows
TypeError at /authentication/
unbound method authenticate() must be called with EmailOrUsernameModelBackend
instance as first argument (got nothing instead)
Can anyone help me out in solving the issue?
Thanks.
