Re: at django login my request.POST.get data are all empty, I struggle with what I missed there

Thank you Alejandro, it must be the template somehow: I had a seperate login form: 

{% extends "base/base.html" %}

{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

{% block head_content %}

    <div id="heading" class="jumbotron">

<div class ="container">

<div class ="row">

        <h2>Anmeldung bei Netteachers</h2>

</div></div>

    </div>

{% endblock %}

{% block main_content %}

{% if form.errors %}

<p>Your username and password didn't match. Please try again.</p>

{% endif %}

<div class ="container">

<div class ="row">

     <div class="col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-sm-6">

        <form id="login_form" method="post" action="{% url 'userauth:login' %}">

            {% form crispy %}

            {% csrf_token %}

           <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Anmelden</button>  

      </form>

     </div>

     <div class="col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-sm-6">

         <h2>Eine Baustelle</h2>

         Derzeit werden logins nur für Administratoren verteilt. Netteachers ist noch in der Aufbauphase.

     </div>

</div>

</div>

{% endblock %}

This did not work. Forms.py is this:

from django import forms

class LoginForm(forms.Form):

    username = forms.CharField(

        max_length=100,

        widget=forms.TextInput,

        required=False,

        label="",

    )

    password = forms.CharField(

        max_length=100,

        widget=forms.TextInput,

        required=False,

        label="",

    )

I then put the form back in the navigation bar, where it did work. I will check out your links. I am still a little confused by the formhandling overall.

    Thanks a lot für your very valuable input.

Hi Sabine,

Your code looks good. Can you post you template code?

Why are you not using form `is_valid`? [0]

What version of Django are you using? You can be facing that your
request.POST is empty! [1]

This may be not what you are looking for but you can use Django
Authentication System [2]
