Django: Redirect logged in users from login page

by

I’m assuming you’re currently using the built-in login view, with

(r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login'),

or something similar in your urls.

You can write your own login view that wraps the default one. It will check if the user is already logged in (through is_authenticated attribute official documentation) and redirect if he is, and use the default view otherwise.

something like:

from django.contrib.auth.views import login

def custom_login(request):
    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        return HttpResponseRedirect(...)
    else:
        return login(request)

and of course change your urls accordingly:

(r'^accounts/login/$', custom_login),
