Django and urls.py: How do I HttpResponseRedirect via a named url?
You need to use the reverse() utils function.
from django.urls import reverse# or Django < 2.0 : from django.core.urlresolvers import reversedef myview(request): return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('arch-summary', args=[1945]))Where args satisfies all the arguments in your url's regular expression. You can also supply named args by passing a dictionary.
The right answer from Django 1.3 onwards, where the redirect method implicitly does a reverse call, is:
from django.shortcuts import redirectdef login(request): if request.session.get('user'): return redirect('named_url')
A more concise way to write that if statement would be if request.session.get('user'). has_key is deprecated nowadays, and .get() returns None (by default, changeable by passing a second parameter).So combining this with Soviut's reply:
from django.core.urlresolvers import reversedef login(request): if request.session.get('user'): return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('my-named-url'))
