Store the last few URLs visited in the session and then log them in the server_error view, to aid debugging.
Author: Bright Interactive.
Install:
pip install django-url-history
Add to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
'url_history.middleware.URLHistoryMiddleware',
...
)
You can then add a server_error view to your app's views.py which will log the last few URLs that a user visited before they encountered an error:
import url_history.views
def server_error(request, *args, **kwargs):
return url_history.views.server_error(
request, data={
'PROJECT_NAME': settings.PROJECT_NAME,
'SUPPORT_EMAIL_ADDRESS': settings.SUPPORT_EMAIL_ADDRESS,
},
*args, **kwargs)
...and then enable this by adding the following to your project's main urls.py:
handler500 = 'yourapp.views.server_error'
...and showing the error ID in your project's 500.html template:
<p>
If the problem persists, <a id="id_contact_us" href="mailto:{{ SUPPORT_EMAIL_ADDRESS }}{% if error_id %}?subject={{ PROJECT_NAME|urlencode }}%20Error:%20{{ error_id }}{% endif %}">contact us</a>{% if error_id %}, quoting error ID {{ error_id }},{% endif %}
and we'll help you get on your way.
