decide where to go to after connecting with django-allauth

Question

After connecting an account with a social app using django-allauth the user is redirected to accounts/social/connections. How can I change this behavior?

Answer 1

If the user is adding more social accounts to his existing (local) account, then the most logical default would be indeed to redirect to the social account connections management screen.

However, you can easily override the default by passing along a next parameter. Have a look here:

https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/blob/master/allauth/socialaccount/helpers.py#L125

You'll see that the next parameter is checked, falling back to the default (connections).

So, to change the default behavior, simply pass along a next parameter:

<a href="{% provider_login_url "openid" openid="https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id" next="/success/url/" %}">Google</a>

If you are using the default templates you'll have to add next urls here:
