I'm still pretty new to Django and have been following some online tutorials to learn it.

I've run into a problem where the CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW doesn't seem to get used correctly and I'm not sure why.

Here is the relevant code:

myProject/custom/csrf/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def csrf_failure(request, reason=""):
    ctx = {'reason':reason}
    return render_to_response("csrf/failure.html", ctx)

myProject/settings.py

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'templates'),
)


CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW = 'myProject.custom.csrf.views.csrf_failure'

myProject/templates/csrf/failure.html

{% extends 'homepage/index.html' %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>Invalid Request</h1>
{% endblock %}

From what I can tell my version of csrf_failure never gets called.

From what I've read here I've done this correctly.

There are no errors, but my custom view never gets used.

Any suggestions?



SOLVED:

While following the tutorial I was told to place a @csrf_exempt in front of my contact view. The later tutorial did not have me remove that. When I remove that token everything works great.

Hope this helps somebody!

i too have some issues with csrf missing .I simply do the following things
place {csrf_token} after POST in html
and import RequestContext in views
