I want to get absolute url in templates. I can't do with url. It gives me a relative URL. I need to get this:
http://domain.tld/article/post but Django gives me just
/article/post I played with settings.py but it didn't work. (debug=false, allowed hosts vs.)
Template code:
{% url 'blog:detail' blog.slug %} This is easy to do in a view. For example:
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse def Home(request): posts = Article.objects.filter(published=True).order_by('-publish') site = Site.objects.get_current() c = RequestContext(request, { 'posts': [{'post': post, 'url': request.build_absolute_uri(reverse('blog:detail', args=[post.slug]))} for post in posts] 'site': site, }) return render_to_response('templates/index.html', c) Then, in your template, while you're looping with {% for postobj in posts %} you can access postobj.post and postobj.url.
If you want to do this in the template instead you can probably create your own template tag without too much trouble.
filter() doesn't raise a DoesNotExist exception, it just returns an empty list; but get() does raise a DoesNotExist exception so you should check for it in your Detail view.After a long time meeting with Django, I learned a lot of things. For this issue, I created an absolute URL templatetag.
Add this to your template tags, then use like default url tag:
{% absurl 'some-view' with, arguments %}
Here is the Gist for the absolute URL templatetag, you will need to add request object to template_context_processors, otherwise this will not work. To achieve this, open your settings.py and add these following lines:
from django.conf import global_settings TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + ( 'django.core.context_processors.request', ) 
absurl.py then you'd add {% load absurl %} to the top of your template
