Django Absolute provides context processors and template tags to use full absolute URLs in templates.

You can install Django Absolute with pip:

pip install django-absolute

or with easy_install:

easy_install django-absolute

Add absolute to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

Add absolute.context_processors.absolute to your template context processors. Note that this requires the request context processor shipped with Django.

Then you can access the following variables in your templates:

• ABSOLUTE_ROOT: full absolute root URL (without trailing slash) based on incoming request
• ABSOLUTE_ROOT_URL: full absolute root URL (with trailing slash) based on incoming request
• SITE_ROOT: full absolute root URL (without trailing slash) based on current Django Site
• SITE_ROOT_URL: full absolute root URL (with trailing slash) based on current Django site

Django absolute provide 2 template tags:

• absolute: acts like url but provide a full URL based on incoming request.
• site: acts like url but provide a full URL based on current Django Site.

To use theses template tags, you need to load the absolute template tag library.

{% load absolute %}

{% url "my_view" %}
{% absolute "my_view" %}
{% site "my_view" %}

These template tags have exactly the same syntax as url, including the "as" syntax:

{% absolute "my_view" as the_url %}
{{ the_url }}

You may optionally pass a custom site to the {% site %} templatetag to always make it used that given site:

{% site "my_view" site my_site_obj ...url args... %}

{% site "my_view" %} guesses the from the current request if HTTP or HTTPS should be used. To force a protocol (for example if using without a request), use the ABSOLUTE_URL_PROTOCOL setting:

ABSOLUTE_URL_PROTOCOL = 'https'
