hi friends i need some help i want to redirect a user when he try to access a page in my django

settings.py is

MIDDLEWARE = ['cart.middleware.LoginRedirectMiddleware']

url.py is (home is the app name)

path('',views.login,name="login"),
path('home',views.home,name="home"),

middleware.py is (located in mainapp)

def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):
    """
    Called just before Django calls the view.
    """
    print("executed")
    if (request.user.is_authenticated):
       return redirect('home')
    else:
        return redirect('login')

CodePudding user response：

The reason for your error is because your middleware only redirects the user in either outcome of the if-statement - so your code is constantly redirecting, even if they are taken to the home page - hence the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error.

What you need to do is specify that you want to redirect to 'home' if the user is authenticated AND trying to access the login page.

if (request.user.is_authenticated and request.path == '/login/'):
   return redirect('home')
else:
   return redirect('login')

Your actual request.path might look different, something like /accounts/login/ is also common.

CodePudding user response：

1. I guess you have params in views.login / views.home? If so, you should add args or kwargs in the back of redirect? redirect('home', *args, **kwargs)
2. Use return redirect('/some/url/') instead of return redirect('home')

Hope this could help
