Django login not working. Page just refreshes a new login page-CodePudding

I have a project called django_swing. Within this project i have 2 different app. One is interface and the other is users. Within the django_swing folder for urls.py, I have the following:

path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='users/login.html'), name='login'),

Within login.html, I have the following:

<form action="#">
 <div class="form-group">
  <label for="username">Username</label>
   <input class="form-control" type="text" id="username" required="" placeholder="Enter username">
 </div>
 <div class="form-group">
  <a href="pages-recoverpw.html" class="text-muted float-right"><small>Forgot your password?</small></a>
   <label for="password">Password</label>
    <div class="input-group input-group-merge">
     <input type="password" id="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter password">
      <div class="input-group-append" data-password="false">
       <div class="input-group-text">
        <span class="password-eye"></span>
       </div>
      </div>
    </div>
 </div>
 <div class="form-group mb-3">
  <div class="custom-control custom-checkbox">
   <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="checkbox-signin" checked>
    <label class="custom-control-label" for="checkbox-signin">Remember me</label>
  </div>
 </div>
 <div class="form-group mb-0 text-center">
  <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit"> Log In </button>
 </div>
</form>

Within the interface folder for urls.py, I have the following:

path('', views.home, name='interface-home'),

Within the interface folder for views.py, I have the following:

def home(request):
    return render(request, 'interface/home.html', {'title':'Home'} )

I have the file for home.html. As it is very long, I cant paste here. When i run the project, 127.0.0.1 loads the page for home.html.

Lastly, within the django_swing folder for settings.py, I have the following at the bottom of the file:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL='interface-home'
LOGIN_URL = 'login'

But when i access 127.0.0.1/login and key in with a account i just made followed by pressing the login button, the page refreshes with the same login page and the url becomes http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/?#. It is not jumping to interface-home as declared in settings.py. Can anyone advise me on how to solve this? I am a beginner at this. Thank you very much!

After editing the errors pointed out, i click login and got this the error of page not found for login/post

How come though?

CodePudding user response：

Your template has several issues

Your form method needs to be "post", the login view is expecting a POST request, and you shouldn't pass anything in the action attribute

<form method="post">

You also need to provide "name" parameters to your inputs so that their values are submitted with that name

<input id="username" name="username" ... >
<input id="password" name="password" ... >
