Django: Staff Decorator
This decorator already exists as
from django.contrib.admin.views.decorators import staff_member_required@staff_member_requiredTrunk:http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/views/decorators.py
For Class Based Views, you can decorate the view class's dispatch method like this:
from django.contrib.admin.views.decorators import staff_member_requiredfrom django.utils.decorators import method_decorator@method_decorator(staff_member_required, name='dispatch')class ExampleTemplateView(TemplateView): ...
This style of decorator function is used with a parameterised decorator - eg when you do:
@staffonly(my_arguments)def function(request): blahIf you're not actually calling the outer function, ie you're using it like this:
@staffonlydef function(request):You will get odd results, as the function object will be passed to the wrong one of the nested functions in the decorator.
