i am currently learning Django framework and i have to do a login page at the moment. i have used the code like following:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
- from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login
- def my_view(request):
- username = request.POST['username']
- password = request.POST['password']
- user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
- if user is not None:
- if user.is_active:
- login(request, user)
- # Redirect to a success page.
- return HttpResponseRedirect("/carbooking/")
- else:
- # Return a 'disabled account' error message
- return render_to_response('login_error.html')
- else:
- # Return an 'invalid login' error message.
- return render_to_response('login_error.html')
MultiValueDictK eyError at /accounts/login/
"Key 'username' not found in <MultiValueDict : {}>"
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/accounts/login/
Exception Type: MultiValueDictK eyError
Exception Value: "Key 'username' not found in <MultiValueDict : {}>"
i did not really understand this error message, what should i do so that i can successfully create login page.
my login.html is like this :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>Login</title>
- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href= "/HNV_css/hnv.css" >
- <script src="menuscript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
- <script type="text/javascript">
- <!-- Begin
- function testLogIn(form) {
- var validTxt = true;
- if(document.memLogIn.username.value ==""){
- validTxt = false;
- alert("Please type in the user name");
- }
- else if (document.memLogIn.password.value == "") {
- validTxt = false;
- alert("Please type in the password")
- }
- return validText;
- }
- // End -->
- </script>
- </head>
- <body>
- <center><font face="Arial">
- <h1>Login</h1></font></div>
- {% if form.has_errors %}
- <p>Sorry, that's not a valid username or password</p>
- {% else %}
- {% endif %}
- <form action = "" method = "POST" name="memLogIn" onSubmit="return testLogIn(this)">
- <table border =0>
- <tr><td> Name: </td><td> {{ form.username }} </td></tr>
- <tr><td> Password: </td> <td> {{ form.password }} </td></tr>
- </table>
- <input type="submit" value="login" />
- <input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />
- </form>
- </center>
- </body>
- </html>
