Re: Automatically direct unauthenticated users to homepage

Ivo,

Thank you. I was not using the @login_required decorator. I was using
generic classes like FormView and TemplateView but I see that in order
use login_required I have to put it in the url.py file and edit the
settings.LOGIN_URL to point to my login page.
