I find that django's documentation will quite extensive seems to show you how you can customize everything but never shows you how to get started. I seriously spent several hours trying to figure out how to get the form to validate... finally found your site and had it work in like 2min. Arg... Thanks for this tutorial.

Plus it is understandable the way it is writen. One question though... Instead of redirecting to the logged_in.html, can we have a direct redirection in a create.html ( which has a view also named create(responce) ), and it is supposed to accept data that will eventually be writen to database ? So imagine...1.Login, 2.Accepted Login, 3.new form, for data-entry 4.Save 5.redirect wherever... What I tried is instead this : return render_to_response('courses/logged_in.html', {'username': username,}) to return create(request) and right before create, set perhaps request method to 'GET'. But it fails. Any suggestion ? I googled and googled a lot, found so many info but in the end only your piece run smoothly. Plus it is understandable the way it is writen.

If your view is named "login", this collides with the "login" function that you call inside the view itself, resulting in this error when you try to log in: TypeError at /login/ login() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) To fix this, your view should be named anything else. Like "mylogin". Found a little bug. If your view is named “login”, this collides with the “login” function that you call inside the view itself, resulting in this error when you try to log in:
