Hello,
I have just started using the {{ STATIC_URL }} template tag to insert
proper url's to static resources in my templates. To use this tag I
need to create the context for rendering as RequestContext() instance,
which takes the request as a parameter for the initialisation.
In my code I have several methods attached to models which create a
suitable context for rendering that model instance in a specfied way:
class MyModel( models.Model ):
....
....
def create_xxx_context( self , **kwargs):
....
def create_yyy_context( self, ,**kwargs):
....
(Maybe that is a horrific design in the first place ???).
Anyway - the methods create_???_context() do not have natural access
to the request object (and I am reluctant to pass that argument on) -
so I was wondering if I could achieve exactly the same by just
"manually" adding the context variable STATIC_URL like:
from django.conf import settings
....
def view(request, args):
context = .....
context["STATIC_URL"] = settings.STATIC_URL
return render_to_response( template , context )
Or is there more magic to the {{ STATIC_URL }} tag when it comes as a
RequestContext()?
