I am new to Django and I have spent a lot of time trying to find a solution to my problem but was not successful. I have a top navbar that is included in the base.html file and every page extends base.html. In my navbar, I have a button that shows a modal (bootstrap) and I want this modal to show the login form. My url.py is as follows:
from django.urls import path, include
from .views import RegisterView
from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView, LogoutView, PasswordResetView, PasswordResetDoneView, PasswordResetConfirmView, PasswordResetCompleteView, PasswordChangeView, PasswordChangeDoneView
urlpatterns = [
# Mapping django auth at the root
# The URLs provided by auth are:
# login/ [name='login']
# logout/ [name='logout']
# password_change/ [name='password_change']
# password_change/done/ [name='password_change_done']
# password_reset/ [name='password_reset']
# password_reset/done/ [name='password_reset_done']
# reset/<uidb64>/<token>/ [name='password_reset_confirm']
# reset/done/ [name='password_reset_complete']
#path('', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('password_reset/', PasswordResetView.as_view(), name='password_reset'),
path('password_reset_done/', PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(), name='password_reset_done'),
path('password_reset/<uidb64>/<token>/', PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(), name='password_reset_confirm'),
path('password_reset/complete/', PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(), name='password_reset_complete'),
path('password_change/', PasswordChangeView.as_view(), name='password_change'),
path('password_change/complete/', PasswordChangeDoneView.as_view(), name='password_change_done'),
path('login/', LoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
path('logout/', LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
path('register/', RegisterView.as_view(), name='register'),
]
As you can see above, path('login/', LoginView.as_view(), name='login'), will only correctly resolve {{ form }} in localhost:8000/login but I want it to resolve in all paths to achieve what I want. Meaning, if I navigate to localhost:8000/login and open the modal from navbar, I will see the login form but if I open the modal from navbar from localhost:8000/anyOtherPath , then it will not show the login form.
What is the best recommended way to achieve what I want? Please let me know if you want to see more of my code to understand my situation better.
In summary, I have a navbar in base.html and every page extends base.html. The navbar contains a button to show a modal and I want to display a login form in that modal, regardless of which page I am on.
Any help here would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
