Re: enforce login on generic views
Hi Adrian. would it be too hard to just stick the 'user login' views in the main codebase? regards ian On 11/13/05, Adrian Holovaty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 11/12/05, Bryan Murdock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > How do I limit access to a generic view to logged in users? > > Hey Bryan, > > I've added a section to the docs for you: > > Limiting access to generic views > http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/#limiting-access-to-generic-views > > Adrian > > -- > Adrian Holovaty > holovaty.com | djangoproject.com | chicagocrime.org > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ++61-3-9877-0909 If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti

I'm...I'm touched. :-) After that kind of generosity, I hate to ask more annoying questions, but is it possible to customize the url of the login page that the login_required decorator uses? Glancing at the source it doesn't look like it. The problem is, I set up my test site with www.example.com/appname so that plain old apache serves www.example.com/anything_but_appname. The default of /accounts/login doesn't get sent to django at all for me. It's not a huge deal, I put a test for anonymous user in the generic view wrapper myself. It works very nicely. Bryan

Ahhh, now I see. Thanks! Bryan

The "user" in that example wasn't intended to be the user from the authentication framework -- it's just some generic concept of "user." I've changed the example to use "member" instead of "user," to underscore the fact that it's some random concept of "member" -- not the "users" from the authentication system.

enforce login on generic views
How do I limit access to a generic view to logged in users? Bryan
problem with sessions docs?
The example code for logging a user in here:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/sessions/
is this:
def login(request):
u = users.get_object(username__exact=request.POST['username'])
if u.check_password(request.POST['password']):
request.session['user_id'] = u.id
return HttpResponse("You're logged in.")
else:
return HttpResponse("Your username and password didn't match.")
It doesn't work for me. I googled and found some code here:
http://cvd.cidev.nl/wordpress/?p=245
That basically makes one small change resulting in this:
def login(request):
u = users.get_object(username__exact=request.POST['username'])
if u.check_password(request.POST['password']):
# CHANGE: different key used:
request.session[users.SESSION_KEY] = u.id
return HttpResponse("You're logged in.")
else:
return HttpResponse("Your username and password didn't match.")
Which then works for me. Is this an error in the docs? Maybe I need to svn up?
Thanks,
Bryan

Thanks for taking the time to give Pedro related tips. I want to help, but am very busy lately so my responses, when I have time to give them are terse (hopefully, consise as well). Best, Eric.

Yes, I can go into django/contrib/admin/templates/base.html and fix it there, but that just doesn't seem as clean as how the branding stuff was able to be modified. I was hoping for something more like that. Bryan

broken admin links to logout and change password
My site is set up with mod_python so that to get to the admin page you go to: example.com/appname/admin In the admin view the links for logging out and changing password are broken. They use example.com/admin/..., leaving out the appname. How can I fix this? Thanks, Bryan
