How can I not use Django's admin login view?

Question

I created my own view for login. However if a user goes directly to /admin it brings them to the admin login page and doesn\'t use my custom view. How can I make it redirect

Answer 1

This is my solution with custom AdminSite class:

class AdminSite(admin.AdminSite):

    def _is_login_redirect(self, response):
        if isinstance(response, HttpResponseRedirect):
            login_url = reverse('admin:login', current_app=self.name)
            response_url = urllib.parse.urlparse(response.url).path
            return login_url == response_url
        else:
            return False

    def admin_view(self, view, cacheable=False):
        inner = super().admin_view(view, cacheable)

        def wrapper(request, *args, **kwargs):
            response = inner(request, *args, **kwargs)
            if self._is_login_redirect(response):
                if request.user.is_authenticated():
                    return HttpResponseRedirect(settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL)
                else:
                    return redirect_to_login(request.get_full_path(), reverse('accounts_login'))
            else:
                return response

        return wrapper
