greetings,
in an attempt to better understand, django from a systems perspective,
i have been attempting to install various blog type applications that i
have found out there in the wild. i ran into a problem with Jeff
Croft's lost-theories application. basically, i set up my apache
mod_python to send all requests for /lost/ to the django interpreter:
<Location "/lost/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
PythonPath "['/d2'] + sys.path"
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE lost.settings
PythonDebug On
</Location>
i modified the urls.py file to accomodate this structure, adding "lost"
to the reg ex for each pattern, for example:
# For homepage:
(r'^lost/$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template',
{'template': 'homepage.html'})
the problem is that all of the templates use a fully qualified path
from the "document root". for example:
<a href="/theories/create/">
it would be nice to be able to include a ROOT_URL or ROOT_URI value in
the settings.py file, just like for MEDIA_URL. the end result would be
that you could put ROOT_URI at the beginning your HREF, allowing you to
install the application in any place you want. for example:
<a href="{% root_uri %}theories/create/">
is there another way to accomplish this that i have missed in the
documentation? any thoughts on this practice? i am in essence looking
for a way to make things more portable.
thanks in advance.
yours,
steve
