Hi all
Like other posts on this group I am trying to work out the best approach for an
app
that has a development version at / and a production version at /proteomics/pls/
My templates contain href="/detail/{{ some_variable }}" which works in test but
I
dont want to have to change them all to
href="/proteomics/pls/detail/{{ some_variable }}" when I copy updates to
prooduction.
I'm using in urls.py
(r'^detail'/ , lab.views.detail)
One solution is to have this:
1. In settings.py a variable URL_ROOT = '/' for testing and
URL_ROOT = '/proteomics/pls' for production
2. In views.py I have 'from django.conf import settings'
3. and for each template use
href="{{ settings.URL_ROOT }}/detail/{{ some_variable }}"
But I don't think importing settings when I just need one URL is the way to do
things
correctly and also the Django docs say "Also note that your code should not
import
from either global_settings or your own settings file." in
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/settings/
So my question is if some consensus has developed or is there a 'proper' method
for
dealing with this?
