django logout redirects me to administration page

django logout

I have provided a simple login functionality. For logout, I tried to use the built-in one. This is my urls.py:

(r'', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),

And this is my template file:

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
logged in as {{ user }}
(<a href="{% url "logout" %}">logout</a>)
{% else %}

I have also enabled the default django admin site. When I click logout, it shows me the administration logout view. How can I pass the logout next page attribute to tell django which view to render?

If you are seeing the log out page of the Django administration site instead of your own log out page (your_application/templates/registration/logged_out.html), check the INSTALLED_APPS setting of your project and make sure that django.contrib.admin comes after 'your_application'. Both templates are located in the same relative path and the Django template loader will use the first one it finds.
