#11770 closed (fixed)

Allow login_required to specify login_url like user_passes_test

Description

All up to login_required Django allows one to specify a custom login_url when the user is not actually logged in.

However, login_required omits this parameter when calling user_passes_test and thus forces me to rewrite that piece of code to do that. I think it would be a simple and probably backwards-compatible change to add an optional parameter to override the login_url even in login_required.

This is interesting and pretty trivial IMO. Marking DDN and putting a patch up that I think accomplishes this right and changes the docs. Also adds the other part of the docs for user_passes_test and changes absolute URL to absolute path, both of which should probably be their own tickets.

Hi, is there a problem to apply this patch on current working version? It is quite old and trivial. I just need such behaviour of login_required decorator but it is always better to have it from trunk than apply this patch to every update.
