Re: Using the backend database to secure a page on the frontend

Thanks for getting back to me Phillip.

I'm using that page as a guide, and i've got a pages application that
has a registration_required boolean field setup.

In my urls file I've got this

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

In my page view I'm doing this

print pg.registration_required
print request.user.is_authenticated()
if pg.registration_required and not request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/login/?next=%s' % request.path)

I've setup the auth middleware and pg is the page.

I can see that pg.registration_required is true, and that
request.user.is_authenticated() is false, so the code is trying to
send me to the login page.

The docs say to create registration/login.html as that is the default.

I've created a folder called registration in my templates folder, and
a page called login.html in that folder, but the site is still
throwing me a template not found error

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/?next=/helpline2/
Django Version: 1.3 beta 1 SVN-15046
Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist
Exception Value: registration/login.html

I must be doing something dull, anyone got any ideas?
