Or, since login_required is a decorator, and since you can pass the
actual callable view you want to use directly in a URL pattern, just
apply login_required to a generic view in your URLConf. One example is
described here (fourth section):

Thanks all. I have some reading to do, but I have also noticed in the
meantime that generic views docs (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/
ref/generic-views/#ref-generic-views) have a hook into the auth
system. Look for 'login_required'.

Having said that, I still have a bit of reading to do.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#limiting-access-to-generic-views

hope this helps. Basically you write your own view which calls the
generic view after you have done your authentication.

The basic way to do this is to write a simple view which is just a
short wrapper around a generic view, but which takes authentication.
James Bennett has a good post on this:

Middleware would be one option.  You could write a process_view
function that checks request.user and redirects requests with no
authentication.  This will all happen before the view gets called.

Authenication for django.views.generic Views

[Col Wilson]

I'm using generic views to render my pages
(django.views.generic.date_based, django.views.generic.list_detail
etc) and they're very handy.

However, the app I'm trying to build would like a security and on
reading the "User Authentication in Django" document, it just talks
about adding authentication to the views.

Generic views of course are buried in the django installation
directories and you don't want to go messing about in there, so it's
not obvious to me how I can do that.

Can someone give me a hand please?
