#10306: login.html example FORM tag is wrong in http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/ ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: jkafader | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: post-1.0 Component: Documentation | Version: 1.0 Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Hi I just thought I'd pass this along:
the ACTION parameter on the FORM tag for your sample login.html template is almost certainly wrong. It should not be '.' -- I'm not an expert on FORM ACTION but I think it should instead be '' , which at least worked for me. This cost me, actually, about an hour of development time, thinking there was something drastically wrong with the way I was passing or handling the ?next= parameter in my login form. You see, an action of '.' cuts off the GET CGI string, making your form unable to redirect properly (django.contrib.auth.views.login gets the 'redirect_to' variable from the GET string, not from POST), but still, confusingly, logging in the user correctly. This really took up a lot of time to figure out, I guess I should have gone with my original instinct of action="" with my login.html rather than slavishly copying the one in the docs. But I just thought I'd let you know about an unnecessary gotcha. --james -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10306> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
