Re: How can i redirect a form to amother page when validation is correct

It's not redirecting because the following statement never evaluates to True:

if accept is not None and accept.is_active:

You are using auth.authenticate (see below) but I don't think that's what you want in this case. auth is the built in django auth system which your code isn't using.

accept = auth.authenticate(pin=pin1, serial_no=serial_no1)

It looks like you're instead trying to load a Pin object.

Try this instead:

accept = Pin.objects.get(pin=pin1, serial_no=serial_no1)

Now accept is holding the Pin object (assuming it found one) and you can check that object for the property is_active

(remember to import Pin).

from django.db import models

from django.forms import ModelForm

class Pin(models.Model):

    pin = models.CharField(max_length=12)

    serial_no = models.CharField(max_length=12)

        ordering = ['pin']

        def __unicode__(self):

            return self.pin
