Hello,
You should show the login if the method != "POST".
By calling render_to_response(...) it will render your template, so that is
what the view must return.
I think you want something like this:
def my_view(request):
if request.method == "POST" :
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
if user.is_active:
login(request,user)
return render_to_response('success.html',
{'username':username})
else:
return HttpResponse('disabled account')
else:
return HttpResponse('invalid login')
else:
*return render_to_response* ('login.html', {'username': username,
'password' : password})
Regards,
Matias.
