Question
I'm new to Django and just just got django-registration up and running. Could anyone tell me how to get a get a log-in, log-out url name and the name of the current user in my template. Are these called template tags? IS there a comprehensive list somewhere for all the default variables supplied with Django.
I'm a little lost with this. I've Googled for a while now but I couldn't find anything.
Thanks.
Solution
Make sure that you have 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware'
in settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
In template:
{{ request.user.username }}
The login and logout url can be found in settings:
settings.LOGIN_URL
(default=/accounts/login)settings.LOGOUT_URL
(default=/accounts/logout)
You will have to implement those views and refer to it from url
tag
{% url your.login.view.name %}
