already logged in users

[Luterien]

Hello. I'm working on a django project and now i'm writing
register,login and logout pages. I dont want already logged in users
to access register or login pages. Is it possible to do that on the
template side or do i need to modify my login view ?

Any help appreciated!
Thanks

{% if user.is_authenticated %}

  Hello, what are you doing here?

{% else %}

  Show login/registration form here

{% endif %}

Also I think doing it in templates is not right. It's job for decorators.

I'm using the template method for now since i dont know much about
decorators. I tried using the decorators at contrib.auth.decorators
but it didnt work.

Thanks!

Doing something the wrong way you're comfortable with instead of
making yourself better at your job is really, really. bad. Just FYI. I
definitely wouldn't hire someone who cares that little about not doing
a horrible job that someone else is going to have to deal with in the
future.

You could also handle your original request in middleware. Technically
you could do it in a template by using the template language to write
JavaScript that would redirect, but that's still bad. The easiest way
is probably in the login view itself -- check if the request.user
either is_authenticated or is_anonymous and redirect as appropriate.

Thanks for the warning. But dont worry,i had no intention of leaving
it like that. As i said i dont know much about decorators,so i thought
it would be better to learn more about decorators before using them.
So i was reading the docs.

Yes,that is what i was looking for. I modified the login view as you
said and its working the way i want now. Thanks a lot!

Cool. I understand putting a temporary solution in place to get the
job done sometimes.

Glad I could help.
