So problem is following
I have app with few pages. On the top I have menu with standard login/logout and form to login . This menu is in my base.html is suppose to show you the right choices in case you are already logged in /or not yet logged in. All pages in the app are protected with @login_required
base.html
<ul class ="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
<li ><a href="{% url 'auth_logout' %}" %> {{user}} Logout </a></li>
{% else %}
<li ><a href="{% url 'registration_register' %}" %> Register </a></li>
{% endif %}
<li><div class="form">
{% if not request.user.is_authenticated and not "/accounts/login" in request.get_full_path %}
<form class='navbar-form navbar-right' method='POST' action='{% url "auth_login" %}'>{% csrf_token %}
<div class='form-group'>
<input type='text' class='form-control' name='username' placeholder='Username' />
</div>
<div class='form-group'>
<input type='password' class='form-control' name='password' placeholder='Password' />
</div>
<button type='submit' class='btn btn-default'>Login</button>
</form>
{% endif %}
</li>
</ul>
So mainly it works perfect with only exception when I call my list pages. And in this case it does pass the @login_required validation but the user object is not visible in the template - for this reason it display the wrong menu options
view.py
@login_required
def contact_list(request):
contact_list = ContactFilter(request.GET, queryset=Contacts.objects.all())
#return render_to_response('my_app/template.html', {'filter': filter})
#company_list = Company.objects.all()
paginator = Paginator(contact_list, 25) # Show 25 contacts per page
page = request.GET.get('page')
try:
contact = paginator.page(page)
except PageNotAnInteger:
# If page is not an integer, deliver first page.
contact = paginator.page(1)
except EmptyPage:
# If page is out of range (e.g. 9999), deliver last page of results.
contact = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)
#return render(request, 'customer/company_list.html', {'company': company})
return render_to_response('customer/contact_list.html', {'contact': contact_list,'page_contact':contact })
I don't think contact_list template has anything to do with it so i am not publishing the template code.
Any ideas what can be the reason?
Thank you
