Django: How can I check the last activity time of user if user didn’t log out?

by

You need to have the last_activity field in the user profile (or custom user model). This field will be updated on every request. To achieve this you need to have custom middleware:

profiles/middleware.py:

from django.utils import timezone

from myproject.profiles.models import Profile


class UpdateLastActivityMiddleware(object):
    def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):
        assert hasattr(request, 'user'), 'The UpdateLastActivityMiddleware requires authentication middleware to be installed.'
        if request.user.is_authenticated():
            Profile.objects.filter(user__id=request.user.id) \
                           .update(last_activity=timezone.now())

Add this middleware in your setting file:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    # other middlewares
    'myproject.profiles.middleware.UpdateLastActivityMiddleware',
)
