Write your own context_processor for that reason. This is a quick example:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
# this is a file yourproject/yourapp/context_processors.py
import re
from django.conf import settings
def general(request=None):
return {
'root_dir': settings.ROOT_DIR,
'media_url': settings.MEDIA_URL,
}
and then link to it in the settings:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
"django.core.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.request",
"yourproject.yourapp.context_processors.general",
)
>From now on {{ root_dir }} and {{ media_url }} will be accessible in
all templates.
Good luck!
