Logout should accept a next parameter

[italomaia]

Well, as auth's login accepts a 'next' parameter, logout should accept next as well. If i want to redirect an user to something other then a template, i have to create a template page that does just that. This ain't cool!

You can pass a next_page argument to the logout view in django.contrib.auth.views

url(r'^logout/$', logout, {'next_page':'/path/to/redirect'}, name='logout'), 

This will mean all users going to the logout view will go to that next_page. I think Django is correct here, there's no need for extra granular control for many use cases.

So it sounds like the requested feature already exists, in which case there is no need for this to stay open? If the existing next_page parameter doesn't do what's being asked for here, please clarify what it is exactly that you are looking for.

Well, i had to hardcode next_page.

/path/to/redirect <= bad
reverse('codename_to_path') <= good

That's what i meant.
