Is there any way to make a second LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL in settings.py in Django?

Question

I am creating an app in Django which have two external users: 1. Teacher 2. Student

I have to create total of 3 apps, one the base app that contains home.html template, other the student app that contains student.html template and third teacher app that contains teacher.html template.

I have just created two apps for now, base app and student app, I have created login, logout and register pages for student app, now I am successfully able to redirect the user (student) to the student.html whenever the student logs into the system and I did this by putting LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'student' in my settings.py .

I want to do the same for Teacher app as well but I want to redirect teacher to the teacher.html .

Is there any way that I can create the second LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL in settings.py to fulfil this purpose or it will be done any other way?

Code of models.py of esacp app

from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone

class StudentType(models.Model):
    studenttype_id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    type_title = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.type_title

class StudentDetails(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    username = models.CharField(max_length=50, primary_key=True)
    password = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    email_id = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    contact = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    studenttype = models.ForeignKey(StudentType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    registration_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
    modify_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

Code of urls.py of esacp app

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.home, name='esacp-home'),
    path('student', views.student, name='student'),
]

Code of urls.py of main project

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from django.urls import path, include
from users import views as user_views

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('register/', user_views.register, name='register'),
    path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='users/login.html'), name='login'),
    path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='users/logout.html'), name='logout'),
    path('tlogin/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='teacher/tlogin.html'), name='tlogin'),
    path('tlogout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='teacher/tlogout.html'), name='tlogout'),
    path('esacp/', include('esacp.urls')),

Code of views.py of teacher app

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView

class MyLoginView():

    def get_success_url(self):
        url = self.get_redirect_url()
        return url

Code of views.py of esacp app

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

def home(request):
    return render(request, 'esacp/home.html')

@login_required
def student(request):
    return render(request, 'esacp/student.html')

and below I have the statement in setting.py

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'student'

Answer 1

You have two login URLs. Therefore you can use a different login view for each one, and override get_success_url so that you are redirected to the correct page after login.

For example, the teacher login view would look something like:

from django.contrib.auth.views import LoginView

class TeacherLoginView(LoginView):
    template_name = 'teacher/tlogin.html'

    def get_success_url(self):
        url = self.get_redirect_url()
        return url or '/teacher/' # FIXME use reverse here instead of hardcoding the URL 

Then use that view instead of TeacherView in your URL patterns.

path('login/', TeacherLoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
