Hi there,
Thanks for this - it worked :-)
For any who may read this and need a little extra help, the html page
contained:
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<p>Welcome, {{ user.username }}. Thanks for logging in.</p>
{% else %}
<p>Welcome, new user. Please log in.</p>
{% endif %}
And views.py also needed to have....
from django.template import RequestContext
...in it
Thanks again for your help.
Ed
