I'm currently learning Django authentication and have encountered an issue with customizing HTML templates. Instead of displaying my custom templates, Django redirects me to the admin dashboard.
For instance, when I modify LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL to logout and name in TemplateView to logout, I expect to see my custom logout page located at templates/registration/logout.html. However, Django continues to redirect me to the default admin dashboard logout page. But when i set both to customlogout then it directs me correctly.
Similarly, I face a problem with the "Forgotten your password?" button. When clicking on it, I anticipate being directed to templates/registration/password_reset_form.html, but instead, I'm redirected to the Django admin dashboard.
Below is my code setup:
settings.py:
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'home'LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = "customlogout"app urls.py:
from django.urls import pathfrom django.views.generic import TemplateViewurlpatterns = [ path('', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='home.html'), name='home'), path('logout/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='logout.html'), name='customlogout'), ]project urls.py:
from django.contrib import adminfrom django.urls import path, includeurlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('', include('account.urls')), path("accounts/", include("django.contrib.auth.urls")), ]Password reset template templates/registration/password_reset_form.html:
<h1>Password Reset</h1><p>Enter your email ID to reset the password</p><form method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }}<button type="submit">Reset</button></form>Edit
If I move my templates out of registration folder into templates folder, then the following work
path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='logout.html'), name='logout'), path('password-reset/', auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='password_reset_form.html'), name='password_reset'),But why its not working before
