So I'm currently trying to implement an already existing application for payment processing via Braintree (https://github.com/Tivix/django-braintree for reference). It seems like all the meat of this application is placed at the /payments-billing/ directory but I can't seem to get into it to check it out. It seems like what's stopping me is a @login_required decorator placed just before the view since whenever I access the directory it sends me back to the defined LOGIN_URL. However I have set up a login feature at the LOGIN_URL that authenticates the user and then sends them to /payments-billing/ but it just redirects back again. Here is my code:
username = form.cleaned_data['username']
password = form.cleaned_data['password']
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
# Password verified for user
if user.is_active:
return redirect(self.success_url)
else:
return redirect('/')
else:
return redirect('/')
Clearly the user is being authenticated and is active since it passes both tests when you try it, but it always just sends the user back to the LOGIN_URL rather than /payments-billing/. Anyone know what's the deal here?
The authenticate function doesn't log a user in, it just checks their username/password. You also have to call django.contrib.auth.login() to do the actual logging in. See the example in the documentation.
