Not able to redirect to a specific page on login

Viewed 37

I am trying to create django authentication but I am not able to redirect to a specific page.

Here is my urls.py file. I think the error may be in this file but I am not able to get it.

"""demo_project URL Configuration

The `urlpatterns` list routes URLs to views. For more information please see:
    https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/http/urls/
Examples:
Function views
    1. Add an import:  from my_app import views
    2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  path('', views.home, name='home')
Class-based views
    1. Add an import:  from other_app.views import Home
    2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  path('', Home.as_view(), name='home')
Including another URLconf
    1. Import the include() function: from django.urls import include, path
    2. Add a URL to urlpatterns:  path('blog/', include('blog.urls'))
"""
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from blog.forms import LoginForm

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('blogs/', include('blog.urls', namespace='blogs')),
    path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='blog/login.html', authentication_form=LoginForm), name='login'),
]

The problem is on clicking the login button the url comes as http://localhost:8000/login/blogs/get_blogs instead of http://localhost:8000/blogs/get_blogs/.

Here is the settings.py file.

As you can see that I have set LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'blogs/get_blogs' but still this issue is coming.

I am new to django so some help will be appreciated.

You are working with a relative URL. But it is likely better to here work with the name of the path, so set the LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL setting [Django-doc] to:

# settings.py

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'blog:get_blogs'
