login_required decorator in Django: open modal instead of redirecting to another page

[Roh Codeur]

Hi

I have a django app which has certain sections which are reserved for
registered users. I have the views annotated with login_required decorator
which redirects the user to a login page.

However, I would like to keep the user on the same page and open up a modal
dialog prompting user to sign in(like on the website:
http://www.fashiolista.com/). To achieve this, I thought I could setup a
middleware(instead of using login_required) and return a response like
below:

return HttpResponse("<script>"
"showLogin()"
"</script>")

When I try to do this, I realised that this renders a page with only the
script tag, which obviously doesnt work.

I am using Bootstrap for showing modal dialogs.

Any ideas?

you should return the whole page plus the modal dialog

I would do it in js, the js context should e aware that the session is not
logged in and instead of going to the link it should show the modal
and also use the regular login required decorator because some people turn
off js
