I am trying to build a login module in django. I already have a nice HTML form for login which has username and password field.
But in my views.py I have imported default Django AuthenticationForm, but if integrate it with my nice-looking HTML form, there will be two forms. How can I import the Authentication form and use it with the my HTML form??
My code is here:
My view:
def login(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = AuthenticationForm(data=request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
user = form.get_user()
authlog(request, user)
return redirect('home')
else:
messages.error(request, 'Invalid username or password')
# back_page = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER')
return redirect('login')
# return HttpResponse(back_page)
else:
content = {
'form': AuthenticationForm()
}
return render(request, 'sign-in.html', content)
If I use Django default form, the code will be following, but it won't look good as my other Html login page.
My sign-in html:
<hr>
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{form|crispy}}
<button type="submit" class=" btn btn-success ">Sign-Up</button>
</form>
I haven't posted my other HTML form though as it is very large. Hope it explains.
