django logout redirects me to administration page

Question

I have provided a simple login functionality. For logout, I tried to use the built-in one. This is my urls.py:

(r'', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),

And this is my template file:

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
logged in as {{ user }}
(<a href="{% url "logout" %}">logout</a>)
{% else %}

I have also enabled the default django admin site. When I click logout, it shows me the administration logout view. How can I pass the logout next page attribute to tell django which view to render?

Answer 1

If you are seeing the log out page of the Django administration site instead of your own log out page (your_application/templates/registration/logged_out.html), check the INSTALLED_APPS setting of your project and make sure that django.contrib.admin comes after 'your_application'. Both templates are located in the same relative path and the Django template loader will use the first one it finds.

Tested on Django 1.6:

What I do is adding this into my urls.py:

(r'^management/logout/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout'),

And then used it:

<a href="{% url "django.contrib.auth.views.logout" %}?next=/">Log out</a>

For the next argument, there you point to the right URL.

Tested on Django 2.1

Append to urlpatterns in urls.py:

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

urlpatterns = [
    path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
]

And then use it in the template:

<a href="{% url "logout" %}?next=/">logout</a>

According to docs, you can supply the next_page parameter to the logout view. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#django.contrib.auth.views.logout

(r'^logout/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout',
    {'next_page': '/logged_out/'})
