How do I manage to make a log out option in a webpage that will redirect me to the main home page?

Question

I am trying to make a web application and I want a log out option in one of my template which will redirect to my home page. How should I do it?

I have a home page name 'home.html' which have a google sign in option by social o-authentication process and once signed in it will redirect it to another template named 'jumbotron.html'. But if I refresh and try logging it again it directly takes me to that template.

So I basically want a log out option on a template 'jumbotron.html' which will redirect me to the home page and have to log in again. How should I do it? Thank you in advance!

I am assuming index is name of your homepage url

You can specify your logout redirect url in passing next_page in urls.py like this

(r'^logout/$',
    'django.contrib.auth.views.logout', {'next_page': 'index'}
),

you can also set LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL in settings.py

like

LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL= 'index'

Lets assume home as your homepage url.

In your urls.py:

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

url(r"^logout/$", auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name="logout"),

In your settings:

LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL= 'home'

In your template:

<a href="{% url 'logout' %}" class="btn btn-default btn-flat">Sign out</a>

If the logout url is inside any django app then:

<a href="{% url 'appname:logout' %}" class="btn btn-default btn-flat">Sign out</a>

I tried doing what you have advised me to but while doing it the button appears but it does not redirect me to anywhere, I mean it does not show any effect. @NiladryKar – Aman Agrawal Mar 28 '19 at 05:34
Have you placed the logout url inside any django app? – Niladry Kar Mar 28 '19 at 06:22
Well no logout url is not inside any django app – Aman Agrawal Mar 28 '19 at 07:21
Please check that you have `django.contrib.auth` in your installed app in settings.py file – Niladry Kar Mar 28 '19 at 07:46
I have edited my logout url...I have not placed the Caret `^` before in the regular expression..Please check – Niladry Kar Mar 28 '19 at 07:50
Apparently Its working when i use '
Sign out
' in my template. But when i try to log in again it wont show me the google log in option rather it takes me directly to that template again. What should i do to log in again with a different user then? – Aman Agrawal Mar 28 '19 at 08:09
Do you have set your login url?and `LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL` in your settings? – Niladry Kar Mar 28 '19 at 08:16
Did you have placed the logout link in your `home` template? – Niladry Kar Mar 28 '19 at 08:28
yeah i have set login url and login_redirect_url in settings. i do not know how to fix this. i am not been able to sign in with different google user. – Aman Agrawal Mar 29 '19 at 05:46
