Comment:
This behavior is intentional (to the best of my knowledge and
understanding). LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL is meant for redirecting users to a
landing page or other such URL in the public-facing portion of your
website. It would be extremely frustrating to log in to the Django admin
app and have it redirect me to a page elsewhere on the site.
If your use case involves customizing the admin in some way such that you
want users to land on a specific admin page after they log in (or to have
it be customizable based on some parameter), my inclination is that the
best thing to do is to subclass AdminSite and override the login method.
If you feel there is a broad use case for having the admin login function
allow redirecting to arbitrary locations, I would suggest starting a
thread on the Django Developers mailing list to gain support for it.
Thanks for the report!
