Apologies, there is probably already responses to this but I can't even isolate where the problem is - Django or Excel
I have an Excel spreadsheet that I've created with urls to Django resources e.g. rows that look like http://site/app/object/17234/
I built them as database extract with a string concatenation of id and the rest of the url. (e.g. select 'http://site/app/object/'||obj.id||'/' from ...)
As far as I can see in excel they have the right structure and nothing weird.
I've already authenticated on the site with 14 day token expiry
- If I copy and paste them into chrome they work
- If I create desktop shortcuts using the URLS they work
- BUT if I click on them within excel they open chrome but go to the login screen http://site/accounts/login/?next=/app/object/17234/
If I log in from there it correctly redirects but this is a step I don't think I should have to do.
I am hoping someone can explain where this is happening, why and how to fix it.
