Django Session related question Question

Question

My code main template:

{% if 'userid' in request.session %}
<a href="{% url 'homepage:writearticle' %}" id="artiplus"> <i class="fa fa-plus"></i> Article </a>
<a href="#" title="user" style="color:tomato;"><i class="fa fa-user"></i> <span class="big">{{uname}}</span></a>
<a href="{% url 'homepage:logout' %}" title="logout"><span class="big">Log Out</span> <i class="fa fa-sign-out"></i></a>

{% else %}

My views.py:
def login(request):
# do some validation
request.session['userid'] = duname[0].pk
sessionID = request.session['userid']
uname = UserModel.objects.get(pk=sessionID).uname
return render(request, "homepage/index.html", {"sessionID": sessionID, "uname": uname})

so my problem is when i logged in, the data in "uname" gets displayed once BUT whenever i go to some other pages in my project the data in "uname" gets lost.
Pliz Help Me.

Answer 1

Pukhrambam try this beforehand. {{ request.user.uname }}

Answer 2

My first question: are you using customised user model?

If yes, then what type of customisation you have made? I mean pure re-constructing model or something else

Answer 5

Answer 7

create templatetag:

from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag
def get_uname(request):
sessionID = request.session['userid']
uname = UserModel.objects.get(pk=sessionID).uname
return uname

and {{ uname }} > {% get_uname request %}

Then I need to see the list of session variables, can you post it.

If you don't know how to get all session variables then do this:
in your home view function (view function that you use to display home page)
type
'''
print (request.session)
'''
and then open the homepage and then see the console/command-prompt window, you will see a dictionary is printed.

And you have to share that dictionary.
