Use staff_member_required decorator, but without being redirected to the admin interface?

Question

When I try to use staff_view, I get redirected in the admin authentication interface.

    from django.contrib.admin.views.decorators import staff_member_required

    @staff_member_required
    def staff_view(request..):
        ...

How can I make a custom login, and not getting redirected in the default admin login interface?

Answer 1

You can use Django's user_passes_test decorator:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import user_passes_test

@user_passes_test(lambda u:u.is_staff, login_url=reverse_lazy('foo'))
def staff_view(request..):
    ...

Answer 2

It's worth pointing out that staff_member_required is a wrapper around user_passes_test (see source code) and it also accepts a login_url parameter, so you could do:

@staff_member_required(login_url=example_url)
def staff_view(request..):
    ...
