I either do something like this:
---
class SettingsNode(Node):
def render(self, context):
from django.conf import settings
context['settings'] = settings
return ''
def do_put_settings(parser, token):
"""
Put the site settings into the context as 'settings'.
Usage::
{% put_settings %}
"""
argv = token.contents.split()
if len(argv) != 1:
raise TemplateSyntaxError, "put_settings takes no arguments"
return SettingsNode()
register_tag('put_settings', do_put_settings)
---
Then you can do:
{% load mytags %}
{% put_settings %}
{{ settings.MEDIA_URL }}
Or else put the site settings in a custom Context.
It seems like a common requirement and a standard way would be good. I
wonder if site settings should be available in the DjangoContext? Or
perhaps just a documented "right way" would do the job.
