If the auth context processor is enabled, then user
is already in the template context, and you can do:
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
If you want to access request
in the template, make sure you have enabled the request context processor.
In your question you are using render_to_response
. Ever since Django 1.3, it has been better to use render
instead of render_to_response
. Using render_to_response
with RequestContext(request)
works in Django <= 1.9, but from Django 1.10 onwards you must use the render
shortcut if you want the context processors to work.
return render(request, 'template/login.html', context)
