Redirecting a user in a django template

I have a django website that is spilt depending on what user type you are, I need to redirect users that are not entitled to see certain aspects of the site,

in my template, I have

{% if user.get_profile.is_store %}
    <!--DO SOME LOGIC-->
{%endif%}

how would I go about redirecting said store back to the index of the site?

====EDIT====

def downloads(request):
    """
    Downloads page, a user facing page for the trade members to downloads POS etc
    """
    if not authenticated_user(request):
        return HttpR开发者_JS百科esponseRedirect("/professional/")

    if request.user.get_profile().is_store():
        return HttpResponseRedirect("/")

    user = request.user
    account = user.get_profile()

    downloads_list = TradeDownloads.objects.filter(online=1)[:6]
    downloads_list[0].get_thumbnail()
    data = {}
    data['download_list'] = downloads_list

    return render_to_response('downloads.html', data, RequestContext(request))

I implement the answer from thornomad, and now I get his error

You will want to do this, I think, in a view not in the template. So, something like:

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def myview(request):
    if request.user.get_profile().is_store():
        return HttpResponseRedirect("/path/")

    # return regular view otherwise

You could also use a @decorator for the view if you found yourself needing to do this a lot.

Use the HTML's raw redirection.

{% if user.get_profile.is_store %}
    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://redirect-url">
{% endif %}

or provide the redirection url as a context variable

{% if user.get_profile.is_store %}
    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url={{ user.get_profile.store_url }}">
{% endif %}

if memory serves right, this has to be inside the "head" tag, but modern browser are more forgiving, Firefox 4 allowed it inside the "body" tag and worked ok.

You really don't want to redirect in a template, as said in all other answers.

But if redirecting in a view is no option (why ever), you can do this:

{% if user.get_profile.is_store %}
    {% include '/path/to/template' %}
{% else %}
    {% include '/path/to/another_template' %}
{% endif %}

Of course sometimes we have views imported from django official code, or others that does not depend on us. We cannot place a redirect in those views, so the only way is through a template that these (untouchable) views are using.

I think you might want to do the redirect in the view code.

For example, this would work in Django 1.1.

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def my_view(request):
    if request.user.get_profile().is_store:
        return redirect('index')
    # normal view code here
    return ....

Documentation for redirect shortcut is here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/shortcuts/ The arguments to redirect() can be (quoting the docs):

• A model: the model's get_absolute_url() function will be called.
• A view name, possibly with arguments: urlresolvers.reverse() will be used to reverse-resolve the name.
• A URL, which will be used as-is for the redirect location.

You wouldn't do this in the template, but in the view. Instead of calling render_to_response (which I presume you do now), you would call HttpResponseRedirect.
