[Answered ]-Redirect certain user to certain view in django

by

You can do something like this:

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
@login_required
def home(request):
    return HttpResponseRedirect(
               reverse(custom_view, 
                       args=[request.user.username]))

Here, custom_view should be your user specific view. This is assuming you have:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/profiles/home'

and you have configured a urlpattern:

(r'^profiles/home', 'myapp.views.home')

You can add a check for account type and redirect to the correct view.

I wrote some similar functionality recently by sub-classing the LoginView provided by django.contrib.auth. Okay, make your first page from the root directory, call it login:
python manage.py startapp login. Make this file exist <projectRoot>/login/templates/registration/login.html Add this code inside said file, it’s more or less cut and pasted from bootstrap’s login form, but with some standard django template language to bind to the expected AuthenticationForm fields.

Next, subclass the built in view and override the redirect part. Inside login.views.py, add this:

from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView

class CustomLoginview(LoginView):

    def get_redirect_url(self):
        if self.request.user.groups.filter(name="customer").exists():
            return 'invoice'
        return super().get_redirect_url()

Finally, update urls.py:

from login.views import CustomLoginview

urlpatterns = [
    path('', CustomLoginview.as_view(), name='login'),

I’m telling the login page to go to my next app ‘invoice’ if the user is a customer, otherwise it goes to the default that I specified in the settings file. Obviously you could expound upon the concept for 3 types of users, which is different than routing based on the names of users, not sure how that got 2 upvotes.
