Re: django.contrib.auth.update_session_auth_hash not working after change password

Ruby

Thank you very much.  I tried adding the request argument to my form subclass 

and got this...

AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'get'

I don't understand how/why tweaking my form this way will solve the session issue.

My form only gets the new password from the user.  The user password

is updated outside of the form in the code I recently sent.  

Are you suggesting I should change the password in the form somehow such

as in the clean method?

Your code needs to be refactored, here is the real deal, your ChangePassowrdFrom is missing `request`, it should be as it is below

form = grandmas4hire.forms.ChangePasswordForm(request, request.POST)

How was it implemented?

Show a snippet from your code

See how it was used in my code

form = ChangePasswordForm(request, request.POST)

if form.is_valid():

user = form.save()

update_session_auth_hash(request, user)

messages.success(

request, "Your password has been successfully updated")

return redirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER'))

When I change a password, users are logged out.

Django recommends keeping users logged in

by calling django.contrib.auth.update_session_auth_hash(request, user).

This is not working in a Django website of mine.

They must log in again!?

There are no error messages.  Is there any way I can provide

more details?
