i have a ROOT_URL value set in my settings.py file. i use this
throughout all applications and at the template level, where i have
created a template tag to make it available as {%root_url%}
def root_url():
if settings.ROOT_URL[1:] == "":
ru = settings.ROOT_URL
else:
ru = settings.ROOT_URL + "/"
return ru
register.simple_tag(root_url)
<a href="{%root_url%}foo/bar/
{{object.id}}/">{{ object.name }}</a>
you could also set it up as a custom context processor, which would
allow you to call it from any template without having to load a
template tag on each template.
