Django authentication and Ajax - URLs that require login

Question

I want to add some Ajax-niceness to my Django-coded website.

In my Django code, I use the @login_required decorator from django.contrib.auth.deco

Answer 1

Sounds like a page template possibility.

1. You could pass a LINK_VIA (or something) that you provide as onClick="return popup(this, 'arg')" or None. Each link would be some text.

   • For anonymous sessions, LINK_VIA has a value.
   • For logged in sessions, LINK_VIA is None

2. You could use an {% if %} statement around your tags. This seems wordy.

3. You could write your own custom tag with for {% link_via %}. I'm not familiar enough with this, but you can provide the link and text as strings and your tag can generate one of two kinds of links.
