I am using django.contrib.auth, and have created the folowing:
view:
def login(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = AuthenticationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
login(request, user)
if login == True:
return render_to_response('myapp/list.html')
else:
error = 'Disabled account. Pay your bill!!'
return render_to_response('auth/login.html',
{'form': form, 'error': error },
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
)
else:
error = 'invalid login...'
return render_to_response('auth/login.html',
{'form': form, 'error': error },
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
)
else:
form = AuthenticationForm()
return render_to_response(
'auth/login.html', {'form': form},
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
)
template:
<body>
<p> </p>
<!-- Start form -->
<form action="{% url "login" %}" method="post"
enctype="multipart/formdata"> {% csrf_token %}
<p> {{ error }} </p>
<p> {{ form.username.label_tag }} {{ form.username }} </p>
<p> {{ form.password.label_tag }} {{ form.password }} </p>
<p> <input type="submit" value="Login" /> </p>
</body>
When I go to the login page, and enter the user details, it returns with
"invalid login", in other words it is failing the is_valid() check. Am I
missing something here? I have checked through the documentation (django
1.5) and don't appear to be.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Nigel
