Login_redirect_url not working. View always redirecting to index

This is my login redirect url in settings.py:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL='/category/all'

And this is my login view:

def login(request):

    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        return redirect('/')
    else:
        if request.method == "POST":
            email=request.POST['email']
            password=request.POST['password']
            user=auth.authenticate(email=email,password=password)

            if user is not None:
                auth.login(request, user)
                return redirect('/')
            else:
                messages.info(request,"Email Password didn't match")
                return redirect('login')
        else:
            return render(request,"login.html")

Whenever the user logs in I want to redirect him to the category/all page but it is always redirecting to index("/") and this might be because I am using return redirect("/").Also even when I have login required for some view then too even when the url is like:

http://localhost:8000/login/?next=/cart/

Instead of redirecting me to cart it redirects too index. Please help me to work around this so that the redirect works properly.

You constructed your own login view, hence that means that the mechanism to redirect will not work, since the LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL, etc. are parameters for the LoginView [Django-doc] of the Django auth module.

You can simply redirect in your view:

def login(request):
    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        return redirect('/category/all')
    else:
        if request.method == 'POST':
            email=request.POST['email']
            password=request.POST['password']
            user=auth.authenticate(email=email,password=password)

            if user is not None:
                auth.login(request, user)
                # redirect to a view
                return redirect('/category/all')
            else:
                messages.info(request, "Email Password didn't match")
                return redirect('login')
        else:
            return render(request,'login.html')

In the code, you are using return redirect('/') statement, which is redirecting you to home page.

To handle the redirections of urls like this - http://localhost:8000/login/?next=/cart/ you need to get value of next parameter from url, then write statement something like this. (Add this where you are using "return redirect('/')" statement)

next = request.GET.get('next') if next: return redirect(next) else: return redirect('/')
