Description

I was wondering why django.contrib.auth.views.logout() doesn't support a REDIRECT_URL override in the settings file as login() does. I'm aware that it is possible to specify a next_page argument, however, this is cumbersome if the urls.py containing logout() is a third party library such as django-registration. I haven't taken a good look at the source, but I am guessing this would be a simple patch to write in order to support LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL. Before I work on it, I need to know if there are any possible regressions or if there are any opinions against this.

dloewenherz: are you a triager giving me the go-ahead for writing a patch like this, or are you claiming the bug yourself? Either way, I'm still interested in seeing this patch hopefully make it into trunk.

comment:4 by Dan Loewenherz, 15 years ago

I'm claiming it, although I wouldn't exactly call it a bug ;).

Did you already have a patch?

comment:5 by Cory Walker, 15 years ago

I don't have a patch, I was just making sure you were claiming it. If you end up not being able to work on it, I could if I have time.

Picking this one up as my first contribution to Django :) I don't anticipate this taking more than a few lines of code and a test or two.

I've implemented a PR for this, based on changes that implemented this on a specific project:

​https://github.com/django/django/pull/5193

Let me know if there's anything that need tweaking.

In dcee1dfc:

Fixed #12405 -- Added LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL setting.

After a user logs out via auth.views.logout(), they're redirected
to LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL if no next_page argument is provided.
