The best way is to use template context processors as James Bennett explained nicely on his blog [1]. http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/06/14/django-tips-template-context-processors Here's how I use it: myproject/my_app/context_processors.py: def settings(request): from django.conf import settings as config_settings d = {} try: for key in config_settings.TEMPLATE_SETTINGS: d[key] = getattr(config_settings, key, None) except AttributeError: if config_settings.DEBUG: raise return d myproject/settings.py: MEDIA_URL = 'http://media.mydomain.com/' from django.conf.global_settings import TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS += ( 'myproject.my_app.context_processors.settings', ) # List all variables from settings.py that should be added to the # RequestContext by the 'settings' context processor TEMPLATE_SETTINGS = ( 'MEDIA_URL', 'SITE_ID', ) index.html: ... <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/screen.css" /> ... <img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}img/logo.png" /> <p>The site id is {{ SITE_ID }}.</p> hope this helps cheers Steven --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
