Django app for determining site section by request.
Contents
Add
section.context_processors.section
to yourTEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
setting:TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( ...other context processors..., "section.context_processors.section", )
Add
SECTIONS
setting to your settings file in the form:# Tuple of dictionaries used to match URL pattern names to site sections. # example: ({'name': '<section name>', 'matching_pattern_names': ('<url_name1>', '<url_name2>')},) SECTIONS = ( {'name': 'home', 'matching_pattern_names': ('home',)}, )
If you're using generic views or RequestContext you'll now automagically have a section
variable added to context and available in your templates containing the value of name
as defined for the current view in your SECTIONS
setting.
NOTE: If the current path can not be resolved to a defined section, the first section as defined in the SECTION
settings is returned. This allows you to setup a global fallback section, i.e. home.
