How to change the content of navbar after user registration in django
I want to change the content of my django home page from Login,Register to Logout when the user gets redirected to the home page after successful registration. I was able to achieve the following change when the user logs in by using the user.is_authenticated but unable to do the same when user registers and gets redirected without the need to log in.
views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render,redirect
from django.contrib import messages
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from .forms import UserRegisterForm
def register(request):
if(request.method=='POST'):
form=UserRegisterForm(request.POST)
if(form.is_valid()):
form.save()
username=form.cleaned_data.get('username')
messages.success(request,f'Account created for {username} , you can now login')
return redirect('blog-home')
else:
form=UserRegisterForm()
return render(request,'users/register.html', {'form':form})
@login_required
def profile(request):
return render(request,'users/profile.html')
home.html:
