Django and urls.py: How do I HttpResponseRedirect via a named url?
Solution 1
You need to use the reverse()
utils function.
from django.urls import reverse
# or Django < 2.0 : from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def myview(request):
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('arch-summary', args=[1945]))
Where args
satisfies all the arguments in your url's regular expression. You can also supply named args by passing a dictionary.
Solution 2
The right answer from Django 1.3 onwards, where the redirect method implicitly does a reverse call, is:
from django.shortcuts import redirect
def login(request):
if request.session.get('user'):
return redirect('named_url')
Solution 3
A more concise way to write that if statement would be if request.session.get('user')
. has_key is deprecated nowadays, and .get() returns None (by default, changeable by passing a second parameter).
So combining this with Soviut's reply:
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def login(request):
if request.session.get('user'):
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('my-named-url'))
Solution 4
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.shortcuts import redirect
def login(request):
if request.session.get('user'):
return redirect(reverse('name-of-url'))

I'm writing a member-based web application, and I need to be able to redirect the page after login. I want to use the named url from my urls.py script in my views.py file for the login application, but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. What I have is this:
def login(request): if request.session.has_key('user'): if request.session['user'] is not None: return HttpResponseRedirect('/path/to/page.html')
What I want to accomplish is something like:
def login(request): if request.session.has_key('user'): if request.session['user'] is not None: return HttpResponseRedirect url pageName
I get syntax errors when I execute this, any ideas?
