Redirecting a user in a django template

Question

I have a django website that is spilt depending on what user type you are, I need to redirect users that are not entitled to see certain aspects of the site,

in my template, I have

{% if user.get_profile.is_store %}
    <!--DO SOME LOGIC-->
{%endif%}

how would I go about redirecting said store back to the index of the site?

====EDIT====

def downloads(request):
    """
    Downloads page, a user facing page for the trade members to downloads POS etc
    """
    if not authenticated_user(request):
        return HttpResponseRedirect("/professional/")

    if request.user.get_profile().is_store():
        return HttpResponseRedirect("/")

    user = request.user
    account = user.get_profile()

    downloads_list = TradeDownloads.objects.filter(online=1)[:6]
    downloads_list[0].get_thumbnail()
    data = {}
    data['download_list'] = downloads_list

    return render_to_response('downloads.html', data, RequestContext(request))

Answer 1

You will want to do this, I think, in a view not in the template. So, something like:

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def myview(request):
    if request.user.get_profile().is_store():
        return HttpResponseRedirect("/path/")

    # return regular view otherwise

You could also use a @decorator for the view if you found yourself needing to do this a lot.

Answer 2

Use the HTML's raw redirection.

{% if user.get_profile.is_store %}
    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://redirect-url">
{% endif %}

or provide the redirection url as a context variable

{% if user.get_profile.is_store %}
    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url={{ user.get_profile.store_url }}">
{% endif %}

if memory serves right, this has to be inside the "head" tag, but modern browser are more forgiving, Firefox 4 allowed it inside the "body" tag and worked ok.
