What's the best way to get user information from a django template?
For example, if I just want to:
I'm using django-registration/authentication
905
Usage: {% extends 'parent_template. html' %} . {% block %}{% endblock %}: This is used to define sections in your templates, so that if another template extends this one, it'll be able to replace whatever html code has been written inside of it.
To configure the Django template system, go to the settings.py file and update the DIRS to the path of the templates folder. Generally, the templates folder is created and kept in the sample directory where manage.py lives. This templates folder contains all the templates you will create in different Django Apps.
Django by default will look within a templates folder called registration for auth templates. The login template is called login. html . Create a new directory called templates and within it another directory called registration .
The Django authentication system handles both authentication and authorization. Briefly, authentication verifies a user is who they claim to be, and authorization determines what an authenticated user is allowed to do. Here the term authentication is used to refer to both tasks.
An alternate method for current Django versions:
{% if user.is_authenticated %} <p>Welcome, {{ user.get_username }}. Thanks for logging in.</p> {% else %} <p>Welcome, new user. Please log in.</p> {% endif %}
Note:
request.user.get_username() in views & user.get_username in templates. Preferred over referring username attribute directly. Source django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth is enabled by default & contains the variable user django.core.context_processors.request template context processor.Source : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#authentication-data-in-templates
