PODjango 1.2 session loss
text
Body
copied!<p>I've asked a similar question before, but I've done some more research and this iteration should be a bit different. It seems as though several SO users have had an issue with registering and logging in users in a single view and it hasn't really been answered. </p> <p>The issue is that I register, authenticate, and login a user in a single Django view. For most users that's fine, but for other users, their subsequent request (they click a link on my site) returns an Anonymous User. Somehow, the logged in user loses their session and is redirected to a page on my sit ethat doesn't require authentication. </p> <p>When they then log in via a pure login view (as opposed to the register + login view), the session data stays in tact. The issue really seems to be registering and logging in a single view. </p> <p>See this post for the same issue: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1693726/problem-with-combined-authentication-login-view">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1693726/problem-with-combined-authentication-login-view</a>. </p> <p>It has been suggested that this is potentially a threading issue. I've also seen it suggested that it relates to the backend for caching session data. </p> <p>Any thoughts on what it really relates to? I can't reproduce the error, which is really holding me back. </p> <p>EDIT--I should note that I'm using the default database backed sessions. </p> <p>Here is my register/login view </p> <pre><code>def splash_register(request): if request.session.get('beta'): if request.method=='POST': userform=MyUserCreationForm(request.POST) if userform.is_valid(): #username of <30 char is required by Django User model. I'm storing username as a hash of user email user=userform.save(commit=False) user.username=hash(user.email) user.save() username=user.username password=str(userform.cleaned_data['password']) user=auth.authenticate(username=username, password=password) if user is not None: auth.login(request,user) request.session['first_visit']=True return HttpResponseRedirect("/") else: return HttpResponseRedirect('/splash/register/') else: userform=MyUserCreationForm(request.POST) return render_to_response("website/splash_register.html", {'userform':userform}, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) return render_to_response("website/splash_register.html", context_instance=RequestContext(request)) else: return HttpResponseRedirect('/splash/') </code></pre>
