Probably everyone here knows this already, but I did find a working solution in the documentation on the Sites framework: it was to concatenate Site.objects.get_current() with page.get_absolute_url().
To show this in context, I am using it within the custom template tag for a "simple menu for Django flatpages" described here: http://blog.foozia.com/blog/2007/jul/29/simple-menu-django-flatpages/ The complete working code now looks like this: from django.template import Library, Node from django.contrib.flatpages.models import FlatPage from django.contrib.sites.models import Site register = Library() def flatpage_menu(): # Create an unordered list of all flatpages pages = FlatPage.objects.all() menu = '<ul>' for page in pages: menu += '<li>'+'<a href="http://'+Site.objects.get_current().domain +page.get_absolute_url()+'" title="'+page.title+'">'+page.title+'</a></ li>\n' menu += '</ul>' return menu register.simple_tag(flatpage_menu) This assumes that SITE_ID is correctly set in the settings.py file for the project.
