How to configure where to redirect after a log out in Django?

Question

Just wondering where I can set the url to redirect to after logout. I know you can set the login url. I want to redirect to my home page.

Answer 1

If you want to set the redirection URL on client level, you can do it in the urls.py:

(r'^management/logout/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout'),

And then in the template:

<a href="{% url 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout' %}?next=/">
    Log out
</a>

Where the next, you point to the right URL.

Answer 2

If you have defined your own urls (and not imported generic auth urls) and are using the standard django auth views, them you can simply add (template_name='example.html') in the path.

path('logout/',auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='homepage.html'),name="logout")

Answer 3

From docs you can write your own logout view (which can be just simple wrapper) overriding the 'next' page.

Answer 4

You can redirect user anywhere by using LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL in your setting.py file

LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = 'url name to redirect'

Answer 5

You can even use named urls for your next parameter:

<a href="{% url 'auth_logout' %}?next={% url 'homepage' %}"> Logout</a>

Answer 6

One easier way:

Add 'next' parameter to your log-out request url. For example:

<a href="{% url 'auth_logout' %}?next=/path_to_the_page"> Logout</a>

Then the logout view will do the trick for you.

For after-login-redirect, you can just simply set it in settings.py:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/path_to_the_page'
LOGIN_URL = '/path_to_the_page'
