request.user.first_name does not working in django - django

I'm trying to build a authentication based view! My html code is:
{% load staticfiles %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
<link href="{% static "css/base.css" %}" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<span class="logo">Bookmarks</span>
{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
<ul class="menu">
<li {% if section == "dashboard" %}class="selected"{% endif %}>My dashboard</li>
<li {% if section == "images" %}class="selected"{% endif %}>Images</li>
<li {% if section == "people" %}class="selected"{% endif %}>People</li>
</ul>
{% endif %}
<span class="user">
{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
Hello {{ request.user.first_name }}, Logout
{% else %}
Log-in
{% endif %}
</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here the line:
request.user.first_name
supposed to show the logged in username according to Django By Example book.
also when I'm changing the password in firefox it shows this massage:
But in chrome it works fine in changing password, although the name is not showing in both browser!
My Login page html code is :
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}Log-in{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Log-in</h1>
{% if form.errors %}
<p>
Your username and password didn't match.
Please try again.
</p>
{% else %}
<p>Please, use the following form to log-in:</p>
{% endif %}
<div class="login-form">
<form action="{% url 'login' %}" method="post">
{{ form.as_p }}
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />
<p><input type="submit" value="Log-in"></p>
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}
I'm stuck really bad :(

This is silly! The problem was I didn't set the user's firstname!
But the second problem is still happening!

i had same issue, but after some research, i found this solution
so try to edit the variable from {{ request.user.first_name }} TO {{ request.user.username}}, so is username not firstname.

Flask.flash messages not available through extended template

I am having trouble with sending flashed messages to a route that extends its layout from another template. This message shows up just fine if use the message in the layout.html which makes me believe that rendering login.html first will render layout.html and use the flashed message there and not pass it to my /login route. How are you able to call this message in an extended template? I am using the jijna with syntax taken from here to be able to have the message variable available within my mainblock. Flask's documentation does not specify this either.
app.py
#app.route("/login", methods=["POST", "GET"])
def login():
# Forget any previous user
if session.get("user_id"):
session.pop("user_id")
if request.method == "POST":
# Create connection cursor
cursor = mysql.connection.cursor()
# Query database for email
cursor.execute("SELECT id, email, password FROM users WHERE email = %s", [request.form.get("email")])
row = cursor.fetchone()
print(row)
if row is None:
print("WHY")
flash("Invaid user")
return redirect("login")
My layout.html

Update
I guess I could do something like make_response instead as seen here. and just use:
response = make_response(render_template("login.html", message = "Invalid user"), 302)
return response
However I am curious if there is a way to pass the flashed message through instead.
I have had the same issue. Instead of:
return redirect("login")
try with:
return render_template("login.html")
The flashed message works that way for me.

Django Allauth Customized Login Template Not Working

I have customized the login template of allauth with bootstrap styles and widget_tweaks. When I try logging in with that template, It doesn't redirect me to the home page but remains in the same login.html template. However, when I log in with the original template from allauth in /account/login.html/ everything works well and it redirects me to my homepage. There is something that I'm not customizing right in my custom login.html template.
Below is django-allauth login.html and my custom login.html

allauth settings in settings.py
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
SITE_ID = 1

ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_REDIRECT = '/'
ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False
ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = 'email'
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REQUIRED = True
ACCOUNT_UNIQUE_EMAIL = True
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'optional'
The other change I've made is to customize the allauth signup form to take extra two fields (first_name and last_name). That one works fine and redirects to the login url
you might be getting an error from the form validator. keep the original form on the page to check if its giving any errors. copy the {{ form.as_p }} from the original page 'accounts/login.html' and paste it in your custom template. if there are any errors, it'll display it.
this right here is your problem
{% extends "account/base.html" %}
If you have all the boostrap, jquery and widget_tweaks in your local base.html, then thats what you need to extend. The default accounts/base.html provided by django-allauth, does not come customized with bootstrap.
Use:
{% extends "base.html" %} instead

NoReverseMatch at /account/login/ (Trying to use Class based authentication views)

I am trying to use Django's class based authentication views and am getting the following error when attempting to access the login view:
NoReverseMatch at /account/login/
Reverse for 'register' not found. 'register' is not a valid view function or pattern name.
Error during template rendering

I am following the book 'Django 2 By Example' and at this point I believe I have directly copy and pasted the code from here (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Django-2-by-Example/tree/master/Chapter04) to try and fix this error, but I am still getting. I should note that I am using Django 3.2.6 and am not sure if this is causing it. Thanks for any help with this.

Want to Authenticate only Superuser

I want want give access to an html file to only the Superuser.
Just how {% if user.is_authenticated %} authenticates all the users including the superusers, is there any way i can only authenticate superusers and not non superusers?
{% block title %}base{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>{% block title %}Django{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<main>
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</main>
</body>
</html>
{% else %}
<p>You are not logged in</p>
login
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
{% if user.is_authenticated and user.is_superuser %}
This statement should return True if a user is superuser and authenticated.
{% if user.is_authenticated and user.is_superuser %}
<li class="nav-item">
<a href="/admin" target="_blank"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary mx-1">
Admin
</button></a>
</li>
{% endif %}
**This Works Fine**
