Thanks a lot! Very straightforward and helpful..

thanks

Hi im using Django version 1.1.1 when logged site just displays "Welcome," to make it display username u need to add to portal/views.py

from django.template import RequestContext

and modify render_to_response to

return render_to_response('portal/index.html',{},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

I get:

TemplateSyntaxError at /portal/

Caught UnicodeDecodeError while rendering: ('utf8', 'then displays everything in templates/portal/portal.html and index.html and at the end says: {% endblock %}\n', 521, 522, 'unexpected code byte')

Any suggestions as to what might cause this?

thanks

Thanks. It works for me

Thanks, I got it working :D

I had to add a "{% csrf_token %}" to the form, though - otherwise it wouldn't let me log in.

I think you have missed

{% csrf_token %}

inside the form tag in the login.html file.

Thanks bdw, it was very helpful.

Dude, very helpful post indeed. Probably worth revisiting and including the csrf considerations in Django >1.2, e.g.

<

form method="post" action="{% url django.contrib.auth.views.login %}">{% csrf_token %}
