Re: Django expertise?

Ok, I've gotten some progress with the user stuff, and have another question

I'd like the regular users to be sent to a different place then th
admin users when they log in - the admin user's would go to the
admin interface, and the rest to the application pages (which I will be writing)

The problem is, when I add in the line in urls.py to catch the result
of the login of a user, all the logins get sent there, not just
the nonadmin ones.

I have not been able to craft a search query that finds anything that
tells me if this is possible.

Re: Django expertise?

I think you may be trying to do too much in the urls.py. Send all
logged in users to a view that uses the following tools:

user.is_staff
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#django.contrib.auth.models.User.is_staff

redirect
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/shortcuts/#django.shortcuts.redirect

I shall give those a try.  I was suspecting that I was trying to do
more than the paradigm expected
