Django: Staff Decorator
- by Mark
I'm trying to write a "staff only" decorator for Django, but I can't seem to get it to work:
def staff_only(error='Only staff may view this page.'):
def _dec(view_func):
def _view(request, *args, **kwargs):
u = request.user
if u.is_authenticated() and u.is_staff:
return view_func(request, *args, **kwargs)
messages.error(request, error)
return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', reverse('home')))
_view.__name__ = view_func.__name__
_view.__dict__ = view_func.__dict__
_view.__doc__ = view_func.__doc__
return _view
return _dec
Trying to follow lead from here. I'm getting:
'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute '__name__'
But if I take those 3 lines out, I just get a useless "Internal Server Error". What am I doing wrong here?
