Hi, these views are protected by @login_required view, right? If so, users that are not logged in should be redirected to the login view. If you are not using the decorator, how are you handling users that are not logged in these different views? You are probably doing something against the DR

Why does collectstatic finds static files in admin 'media' directory?

Hi, on 1.3.1. I ran: ./manage.py collectstatic --dry-run and it found files in: django/contrib/admin/media/ which is fine, but I am wondering, why these files are found since the docs says, that the default folder apps have to store there static assets is a folder called “static”. I haven’t

Ivo, Thank you. I was not using the @login_required decorator. I was using generic classes like FormView and TemplateView but I see that in order use login_required I have to put it in the url.py file and edit the settings.LOGIN_URL to point to my login page. On Nov 15, 11:25 am, Ivo Brodien

Re: Automatically direct unauthenticated users to homepage

If this is going to be the case for every single view on your site (i.e. there are no exceptions for help pages or forgotten password views or such), you could probably do it with a custom middleware. But @login_required is probably the best way to go, yeah. On Nov 15, 11:16 am, CrabbyPete wrote:
