I am trying to make sure my url.com go straight to a login page and then route around properly. The issue is Trying to follow

url.com -> should display login.html which is extended from base.html if user isn't signed in

pages/urls.py

from django.urls import path

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
]

Think I need to change path here to something for base.html

pages/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render

def index(request):
    return render(request,'registration/login.html')

So these two make up how to request the login.html from the url.

settings.py

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent

Think the last two lines should be home.

portfolio/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path("", include("pages.urls")),
    path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
    

]

Not sure how the url patterns need to be here What I want to be using is django.contrib.auth.urls in a dedicated page app.

Currently only url.com/accounts/login works and url.com has a faulty login that does nothing. base.html

CodePudding user response：

You can make use of the @login_required decorator, which will redirect the user to the login page if the user is not authenticated.

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required. 

@login_required
def index(request):
    # now the index function renders the home page
    return render(request,'home.html') 

CodePudding user response：

In your settings.py you can put something like:

LOGIN_URL = '/login/'

and any view you would like login to be required for you can put this in views.py above the respective function:

@login_required

So for your index view all you would need is this:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
    @login_required
    def index(request):
        

See documentation for more details.
