Can someone help me troubleshoot why the form for my Django LoginView is not showing up on my website?

After spending nearly an hour going through the documentation, I still can't figure out why the LoginView form is not displaying properly. The template seems to be rendering correctly but the form itself is missing from the HTML tags.

urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from django.urls import path, include
from users import views as user_views

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('register/', user_views.register, name='register'),
    path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='users/login.html'), name='login'),
    path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='users/logout.html'), name='logout'),
    path('', include('blog.urls')),
]

Login HTML

{% extends "blog/base.html" %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
    <div class="content-section">
        <form method="POST">
            {% csrf_token %}
            <!-- Use fieldset to group related elements within the form -->
            <fieldset class="form-group">
                <legend class="border-bottom mb-4">Log In</legend>
                <!-- Load the value of form_key from our view with P tags instead -->
                <!-- {{ form_key }} -->

                {{ form_key|crispy }}
            </fieldset>
            <div class="form-group">
                <button class="btn btn-outline-info" type="submit">Sign Up</button>
            </div>
        </form>
        <div class="border-top pt-3">
            <small class="text-muted">

            </small>
        </div>
    </div>
{% endblock content %}

Answer №1

I believe that the typical LoginView relies on using the FormMixin, which automatically includes the form in the context. Therefore, make sure to update form_key to form within your template.
