Re: Email Templates and the full website URL

I had the same problem.  Wrote this:

def get_web_server_base_url(request, settings_override_name=None):
    # Allow the value in the settings file to override any computed value.
    url = None
    if settings_override_name:
        url = getattr(settings, settings_override_name, None)
    if not url:
        protocol = request.is_secure() and 'https' or 'http'
        host = request.get_host()
        url = "{0}://{1}".format(protocol, host)
    return url

I didn't know about Site or RequestSite at the time.  Perhaps I could
have used them, but:

1. I wanted the protocol (http, or https) to be correct also.  Would
    RequestSite have done that for me?

2. I wanted to be able to override the hostname with the primary
    name of the server (via an entry in settings.py) even if the request
    was sent to a secondary name or the IP address of the server.
    I suppose Site would have allowed this, via storing the name in
    the DB, but that seems like more work than a settings.py file,
    especially since I already have convenient mechanism to manage
    different settings.py files when deployed on different servers.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the links. I had done the google searches and gone through them, but they seemed to me a lot of work to get something simple.

I finally did the following. Any comments welcome if this is not a good way to do.

In my view, I pass a context object of the request to the email template. I need the request as i also want to put in the user's name.

in the email template now I changed it to :
<A href="http://{{request.get_get_host}}{% url "project.views.details" project.id %}">{{ project }}</a>

This seems to be working and quite simple too !

hi,

I have a setup where I have a project details page, and I can do a "send email" which should send the email with the URL.

Email is working fine.

The problem is that i am getting a relative url in the tempalte

I have the following in the html email template :
<A href="{% url "project.views.details" project.id %}">{{ project }}</a>

This give me a URL in the email as /projects/1 ( 1 being the project id)

How do i prepend the url of the server here ? e.g. I want this to be http://localhost:8000/projects/1
