I added django.contrib.auth.views.login everywhere in my webpage, for that I had to load a templatetag (that returns the AuthenticationForm) in my base.html. This templatetags includes the registration/login.html template.

The login is working ok but I want it to redirect the users to the same page they are before login. Now, it redirects me to /wherever_i_am/login wich shows registration/login.html with the 'login ok' or 'login fails' messages but without the rest of base.html.

I have followed django documentation and a few SO questions like this but I cannot redirect correctly. I have modified the next variable but it doesn't seem to work (next={{ request.get_full_path }} redirects me to /wherever_i_am/login ...again)

Have you tried something similar? any ideas?

UPDATE1 Now, the question could be something like: Do I have to declare my own login view if I want to include the login form everywhere in my web page?

Thank you.

Found answer:

Change settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL in your settings.py,

below code is copy from django:

   if request.method == "POST":form = authentication_form(data=request.POST)if form.is_valid():# Ensure the user-originating redirection url is safe.if not is_safe_url(url=redirect_to, host=request.get_host()):redirect_to = settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL...
