Is their any way of counting number of django logins? The last_login field of the auth_user gets updated with each login. Can we make use of that field to count number of logins by a specific user?
There's also a 'user_logged_in' signal that'll do the trick with out the need to check for last logins etc.
class UserLogin(models.Model):
"""Represent users' logins, one per record"""
user = models.ForeignKey(user)
timestamp = models.DateTimeField()
from django.contrib.auth.signals import user_logged_in
def update_user_login(sender, user, **kwargs):
user.userlogin_set.create(timestamp=timezone.now())
user.save()
user_logged_in.connect(update_user_login)
Yes, in a sense. You'll need either a field in you app's UserProfile
model to hold number of logins or a separate model for storing full login history. Then add signal handlers for last_login updates and record them in a model of your choice. Here's my example:
from django.db import models, signals
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserLogin(models.Model):
"""Represent users' logins, one per record"""
user = models.ForeignKey(user)
timestamp = models.DateTimeField()
def user_presave(sender, instance, **kwargs):
if instance.last_login:
old = instance.__class__.objects.get(pk=instance.pk)
if instance.last_login != old.last_login:
instance.userlogin_set.create(timestamp=instance.last_login)
signals.pre_save.connect(user_presave, sender=User)
