Protect pages by raising 404












0















I am learning Django, and I want to protect certain pages by raising 404 if request is not from certain login user.



I already foreginkey topic to user. Here is the code to protect topic page.



@login_required
def topic(request, topic_id):
topic = Topic.objects.get(id=topic_id)
if topic.owner != request.user:
raise Http404


I wonder are there better ways if I want to protect a lot of pages so I don't have to add the same code in every function?

  • 403 would be more appropriate than 404.

    @DanielRoseman 404 is perfectly valid if you don't want to indicate the existence of records with these ids in the database.

If you definitely want to raise 404, a quicker method would be to make the user check part of the query itself - then your can use the get_object_or_404 shortcut:



topic = get_object_or_404(Topic, id=topic_id, owner=request.uset)
