I am trying to create a login and logout page, so whenever a user is logged in, it only sees the logout option.
For login and logout I am using custom Forms and models. The problem I am facing is whenver I authenticate the user in views.py and redirect to a differnt page I cannot authenticate the user in html it is always false. I used “user.is_authenticate”. I am not sure how the value is being passed to the html. If I used the standard django login and logout template, I may be able to do it easily. Kindly help.
Code:
views.py
def login(request):
if request.method =='POST':
print("I am here1")
form = LoginForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
password = form.cleaned_data.get('password')
user = LoginAuthBackened().authenticate(request=request, username=username, password=password)
if user:
messages.success(request, f'Login Successful.')
return redirect('app-workspace')
else:
messages.error(request, f'Password Incorrect !')
return redirect('app-login')
else:
print(form.errors)
else:
form = LoginForm()
return render(request, 'users/login.html', {'form': form})
html:
models.py
