Set up a Wagtail user login system

This document assumes that you have a Wagtail application up and running (see). It will take you through the steps that you need to follow to set up pages and links that will allow a registered user to login, log out and change their password.

To run this project I am using a menu page:

{% block content %}
Your are logged in as: 
<p></p>
<a href="">Logout</a>
<p></p>
<a href="">Login</a>
<p></p>
<a href="">Change password</a>
{% endblock %}

1. Create a new app users

    ./manage.py startapp users
   

2. Update base.py

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        'users',
        ...
   

3. In <project>/urls.py:

    urlpatterns = [
        ...
        url(r'^users/', include('users.urls')),
        ...
   

4. In users/urls.py:

    from django.urls import path
   
    from . import views
   
    urlpatterns = [
            path(r'logout/', views.logout, name='logout'),
        ]
   

The logout screen

This is the simplest function to provide.
