<p>Django comes with an optional &#8220;sites&#8221; framework. It&#8217;s a hook for associating
objects and functionality to particular Web sites, and it&#8217;s a holding place for
the domain names and &#8220;verbose&#8221; names of your Django-powered sites.</p>
<p>Use it if your single Django installation powers more than one site and you
need to differentiate between those sites in some way.</p>
<p>The whole sites framework is based on a simple model:</p>
<dl class="class">
<dt id="django.contrib.sites.models.Site">
<em class="property">class </em><tt class="descname">Site</tt><a class="headerlink" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>A model for storing the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">domain</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">name</span></tt> attributes of a Web site.
The <a class="reference internal" href="../settings.html#std:setting-SITE_ID"><tt class="xref std std-setting docutils literal"><span class="pre">SITE_ID</span></tt></a> setting specifies the database ID of the
<a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a> object associated with that
particular settings file.</p>
<dl class="attribute">
<dt id="django.contrib.sites.models.Site.domain">
<tt class="descname">domain</tt><a class="headerlink" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site.domain" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>The domain name associated with the Web site.</p>
</dd></dl>

<dl class="attribute">
<dt id="django.contrib.sites.models.Site.name">
<tt class="descname">name</tt><a class="headerlink" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site.name" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>A human-readable &#8220;verbose&#8221; name for the Web site.</p>
</dd></dl>

</dd></dl>

<p>How you use this is up to you, but Django uses it in a couple of ways
automatically via simple conventions.</p>
<div class="section" id="s-example-usage">
<span id="example-usage"></span><h2>Example usage<a class="headerlink" href="#example-usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Why would you use sites? It&#8217;s best explained through examples.</p>
<div class="section" id="s-associating-content-with-multiple-sites">
<span id="associating-content-with-multiple-sites"></span><h3>Associating content with multiple sites<a class="headerlink" href="#associating-content-with-multiple-sites" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The Django-powered sites <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ljworld.com/">LJWorld.com</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://www.lawrence.com/">Lawrence.com</a> are operated by the
same news organization &#8211; the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper in Lawrence,
Kansas. LJWorld.com focuses on news, while Lawrence.com focuses on local
entertainment. But sometimes editors want to publish an article on <em>both</em>
sites.</p>
<p>The brain-dead way of solving the problem would be to require site producers to
publish the same story twice: once for LJWorld.com and again for Lawrence.com.
But that&#8217;s inefficient for site producers, and it&#8217;s redundant to store
multiple copies of the same story in the database.</p>
<p>The better solution is simple: Both sites use the same article database, and an
article is associated with one or more sites. In Django model terminology,
that&#8217;s represented by a <a class="reference internal" href="../models/fields.html#django.db.models.ManyToManyField" title="django.db.models.ManyToManyField"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ManyToManyField</span></tt></a> in the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Article</span></tt> model:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.db</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">models</span>
<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.contrib.sites.models</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">Site</span>

<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Article</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">models</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">Model</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="n">headline</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">models</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">CharField</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">max_length</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">200</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="c"># ...</span>
    <span class="n">sites</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">models</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">ManyToManyField</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Site</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This accomplishes several things quite nicely:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">It lets the site producers edit all content &#8211; on both sites &#8211; in a
single interface (the Django admin).</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">It means the same story doesn&#8217;t have to be published twice in the
database; it only has a single record in the database.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">It lets the site developers use the same Django view code for both sites.
The view code that displays a given story just checks to make sure the
requested story is on the current site. It looks something like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.contrib.sites.models</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">get_current_site</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-associating-content-with-a-single-site">
<span id="associating-content-with-a-single-site"></span><h3>Associating content with a single site<a class="headerlink" href="#associating-content-with-a-single-site" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Similarly, you can associate a model to the
<a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a>
model in a many-to-one relationship, using
<a class="reference internal" href="../models/fields.html#django.db.models.ForeignKey" title="django.db.models.ForeignKey"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ForeignKey</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>For example, if an article is only allowed on a single site, you&#8217;d use a model
like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.db</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">models</span>
<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.contrib.sites.models</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">Site</span>

<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Article</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">models</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">Model</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="n">headline</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">models</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">CharField</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">max_length</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">200</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="c"># ...</span>
    <span class="n">site</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">models</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">ForeignKey</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Site</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This has the same benefits as described in the last section.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="s-hooking-into-the-current-site-from-views">
<span id="s-hooking-into-current-site-from-views"></span><span id="hooking-into-the-current-site-from-views"></span><span id="hooking-into-current-site-from-views"></span><h3>Hooking into the current site from views<a class="headerlink" href="#hooking-into-the-current-site-from-views" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>You can use the sites framework in your Django views to do
particular things based on the site in which the view is being called.
For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.conf</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">settings</span>

<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">my_view</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">request</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">settings</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">SITE_ID</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="c"># Do something.</span>
        <span class="k">pass</span>
    <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="c"># Do something else.</span>
        <span class="k">pass</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s ugly to hard-code the site IDs like that. This sort of
hard-coding is best for hackish fixes that you need done quickly. The
cleaner way of accomplishing the same thing is to check the current site&#8217;s
domain:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.contrib.sites.models</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">get_current_site</span>

<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">my_view</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">request</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="n">current_site</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">get_current_site</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">request</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">current_site</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">domain</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="s">&#39;foo.com&#39;</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="c"># Do something</span>
        <span class="k">pass</span>
    <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="c"># Do something else.</span>
        <span class="k">pass</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This has also the advantage of checking if the sites framework is installed,
and return a <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.RequestSite" title="django.contrib.sites.models.RequestSite"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">RequestSite</span></tt></a> instance if it is not.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have access to the request object, you can use the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_current()</span></tt> method of the <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a>
model&#8217;s manager. You should then ensure that your settings file does contain
the <a class="reference internal" href="../settings.html#std:setting-SITE_ID"><tt class="xref std std-setting docutils literal"><span class="pre">SITE_ID</span></tt></a> setting. This example is equivalent to the previous one:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">django.contrib.sites.models</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">Site</span>

<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">my_function_without_request</span><span class="p">():</span>
    <span class="n">current_site</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">Site</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">objects</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get_current</span><span class="p">()</span>
    <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">current_site</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">domain</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="s">&#39;foo.com&#39;</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="c"># Do something</span>
        <span class="k">pass</span>
    <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="c"># Do something else.</span>
        <span class="k">pass</span>
</pre></div>

<div class="section" id="s-getting-the-current-domain-for-display">
<span id="getting-the-current-domain-for-display"></span><h3>Getting the current domain for display<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-the-current-domain-for-display" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>LJWorld.com and Lawrence.com both have email alert functionality, which lets
readers sign up to get notifications when news happens. It&#8217;s pretty basic: A
reader signs up on a Web form, and he immediately gets an email saying,
&#8220;Thanks for your subscription.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;d be inefficient and redundant to implement this signup-processing code
twice, so the sites use the same code behind the scenes. But the &#8220;thank you for
signing up&#8221; notice needs to be different for each site. By using
<a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a>
objects, we can abstract the &#8220;thank you&#8221; notice to use the values of the
current site&#8217;s <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site.name" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site.name"><tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">name</span></tt></a> and

<p>Note that an even more flexible (but more heavyweight) way of doing this would

<p>In this case, you&#8217;d have to create <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">subject.txt</span></tt> and <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">message.txt</span></tt>

<p>Django&#8217;s <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_absolute_url()</span></tt> convention is nice for getting your objects&#8217;

parts of Django &#8211; namely, the Django admin site and generic views &#8211;
use whichever manager is defined <em>first</em> in the model, so if you want

<p>Although it&#8217;s not required that you use the sites framework, it&#8217;s strongly
encouraged, because Django takes advantage of it in a few places. Even if your
Django installation is powering only a single site, you should take the two
seconds to create the site object with your <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">domain</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">name</span></tt>, and point
to its ID in your <a class="reference internal" href="../settings.html#std:setting-SITE_ID"><tt class="xref std std-setting docutils literal"><span class="pre">SITE_ID</span></tt></a> setting.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how Django uses the sites framework:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>In the <a class="reference internal" href="redirects.html#module-django.contrib.redirects" title="django.contrib.redirects: A framework for managing redirects."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">redirects</span> <span class="pre">framework</span></tt></a>, each
redirect object is associated with a particular site. When Django searches
for a redirect, it takes into account the current site.</li>
<li>In the comments framework, each comment is associated with a particular
site. When a comment is posted, its
<a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a> is set to the current site,
and when comments are listed via the appropriate template tag, only the
comments for the current site are displayed.</li>
<li>In the <a class="reference internal" href="flatpages.html#module-django.contrib.flatpages" title="django.contrib.flatpages: A framework for managing simple ?flat? HTML content in a database."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">flatpages</span> <span class="pre">framework</span></tt></a>, each
flatpage is associated with a particular site. When a flatpage is created,
you specify its <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a>, and the

<p>A <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.RequestSite" title="django.contrib.sites.models.RequestSite"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">RequestSite</span></tt></a> object has a similar
interface to a normal <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a> object, except
its <a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.RequestSite.__init__" title="django.contrib.sites.models.RequestSite.__init__"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">__init__()</span></tt></a> method takes an
<a class="reference internal" href="../request-response.html#django.http.HttpRequest" title="django.http.HttpRequest"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">HttpRequest</span></tt></a> object. It&#8217;s able to deduce the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">domain</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">name</span></tt> by looking at the request&#8217;s domain. It has <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">save()</span></tt>
and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">delete()</span></tt> methods to match the interface of
<a class="reference internal" href="#django.contrib.sites.models.Site" title="django.contrib.sites.models.Site"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Site</span></tt></a>, but the methods raise
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">NotImplementedError</span></tt>.</p>
