Setting session variable at the time of login

2011-02-07 Thread SimpleDimple
I am new to django and building a school system but am experience
developer otherwise having firm grip over rails, php, .net and java.

1) I am using django admin, I want to set a variable at the time of
user login... the user login is coming from django code so I have no
idea how to capture "after login" eventplease help.

2) Also is it easy to add/control/manage more fields to django's auto
generated user profile ? or what is best practice here ?

1. You'll have to create your own login view. You can look at Django's
view and just copy it. You can use the built-in authentication and
template and everything, plus whatever else you want to do.

2. Here's how you do that:

You may be interested in this school system django-classcomm:
http://classcomm.googlecode.com/   demoed at http://classcomm.net/  I
am the primary developer on this and I have JIRA project management
and product backlog etc. so perhaps you would be more interested in
working off an existing system.
