Re: Unable to access URL's query string using request.GET['next']

2013/5/25 Amber Jain <i.amber.jain@gmail.com>

Hello,

I can't seem to access request.GET['next'] (from a URL with a query string). Here's what I'm doing:
localhost:8000/dashboard/ points to dashboard() view but the dashboard() view uses @login_required decorator. And so, if the user isn't logged in, localhost:8000/dashboard/ redirects to localhost/login/?next=/dashboard/ (but I can't access request.GET info after login).

Here's my dashboard() view: http://dpaste.org/Z9dZX/ ... i.e. when dashboard view is loaded after successful login (from localhost/login/?next=/dashboard/), I see "You submitted an empty query string.", when in fact I expect to see the request.GET data from the URL query string.

Can anyone point out the error(s) in my code? I can provide other parts of my code if you want. 

I can't say exactly what you're doing wrong, because this is the behavior I would expect. The ?next query parameter is used by the default login view to tell Django where it should send the user after the user has been logged in [1]. The ?next argument is dropped from the query string because it has already fulfilled its purpose at that point, it wasn't an argument for your dashboard view. Can you tell us what do you want to achieve with this?
