Login in from admin logout page should not logout again

[Etienne Desautels]

Here's the scenario: a user work in the admin then log out (so he's now on the logout page) then quit the browser. Later he restart the browser, the browser reload his latest pages. The logout page show now the login form instead of the "Thanks" page. The user try to login and after logging in he's redirected to the logout page. That page log out the user.

I think the solution is, in the login method of AdminSite, to check if the redirection is set to the logout URL and change it to the home page. Something like this:

def login(self, request, extra_context=None):
        """
        Displays the login form for the given HttpRequest.
        """
        from django.contrib.auth.views import login
        full_path = request.get_full_path()
        if full_path.endswith(u'/logout/'):
            redirect = full_path[:-7]
        else:
            redirect = full_path
        context = {
            'title': _('Log in'),
            'app_path': full_path,
            REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME: redirect,
        }
        context.update(extra_context or {})
        defaults = {
            'extra_context': context,
            'current_app': self.name,
            'authentication_form': self.login_form or AdminAuthenticationForm,
            'template_name': self.login_template or 'admin/login.html',
        }
        return login(request, **defaults)

Accepted, although a named url should be used instead of the hardcoded '/logout/'.

[Etienne Desautels]

So you mean something like this:

def login(self, request, extra_context=None):
        """
        Displays the login form for the given HttpRequest.
        """
        from django.contrib.auth.views import login
        from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

        full_path = request.get_full_path()
        if request.path == reverse('admin:logout'):
            redirect = reverse('admin:index')
        else:
            redirect = full_path
        context = {
            'title': _('Log in'),
            'app_path': full_path,
            REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME: redirect,
        }
        context.update(extra_context or {})
        defaults = {
            'extra_context': context,
            'current_app': self.name,
            'authentication_form': self.login_form or AdminAuthenticationForm,
            'template_name': self.login_template or 'admin/login.html',
        }
        return login(request, **defaults)

Just a small note: no need to import reverse() in the real code.

[Julien Phalip]

Yes that's right, that's what I meant :)
