Question

I’m using User authentication to all pages. Like this:

@login_required(redirect_field_name='redirect_to')
def memp(request):
    ...

But some pages can not get user information.

In views: request.GET.get('user') = None and in templates: {{user}} = None

I cannot find the root cause of it.

Answer 1

In a view you should be using request.user, does that work?

In a template, if {{ user }} doesn’t work, make sure you are using a RequestContext to render the template. You should also make sure you have the "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth" context processor active in your settings.py.
