Django redirect to specific URL after Registration - django

Question

Good day.
I'm trying to redirect a user to specific url which in my case is rootPath/dashboard/
But when the user registers i get redirected to /user/register/dashboard/
I have searched other stackoverflow topics on same problem but they didn't resolve my problem.
I have defined these settings in settings.py
LOGIN_URL = 'user/login/'
LOGOUT_URL = 'user/logout/'
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'dashboard/'
views.py
def register(request):
form = RegisterForm(request.POST or None)
if request.POST:
if form.is_valid():
data = form.cleaned_data
email = data['email']
pwd = data['password']
user = User(email=email, password=pwd)
user.save()
return redirect(settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL)
return render(request, 'registration/register.html', context={'form': form})
#login_required
def dashboard(request):
return render(request, 'user/dashboard.html')
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('user/login/', CustomLoginView.as_view(), name='login'),
path('user/logout/', auth_logout, name='logout'),
path('user/register/', register, name='register'),
path('dashboard/', dashboard, name='dashboard')
]
register.html
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% block content %}
<div class="container text-center">
{% if form.errors %}
{% for field in form %}
{% for error in field.errors %}
<div class="alert alert-danger">
<strong>{{ error|escape }}</strong>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
<div class="alert alert-danger">
<strong>{{ error|escape }}</strong>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
<h1 class="h3 mb-3 font-weight-normal">Register</h1>
<form class="form-signin" action="." method="post">
{{ form.as_p }}
{% csrf_token %}
<p><input type="submit" value="Register" class="btn btn-primary"></p>
{# <input type="button" value="Forgot Password">#}
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}

You can redirect to any specific url with redirect like this
return redirect('dashboard') #return redirect('url_name')
if the app_name is provided it would be like this
return redirect('app_name:url_name')
