DjDT Sites panel

DjDT Sites adds a Sites panel that lists all registered sites and allows to easily switch from one to another during development.

Install

Install using pip:

pip install djdt-sites

Add djdt_sites to INSTALLED_APPS so that we can find the panel templates. Obviously, you must have django.contrib.sites in the INSTALLED_APPS too.

Add djdt_sites.SitesPanel to DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PANELS.

Add djdt_sites.switch_site_middleware to MIDDLEWARE after any other site selection middleware. switch_site_middleware is responsible to override the current site on demand.

This uses a site attribute of the request object to manage the current site. The django.contrib.sites.middleware.CurrentSiteMiddleware provides this functionnality and must be enabled before the djdt_sites middleware.

The SitesPanel uses the request.sites attribute to display the current sites. Therefore, the djdt_sites middleware must be set before the debug toolbar one.

MIDDLEWARE = [
  # ...
  'django.contrib.sites.middleware.CurrentSiteMiddleware',
  'djdt_sites.middleware.switch_site_middleware',
  'debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware',
  # ...
]
