copied!<p>Not sure how to do simple rewrite rule in nginx. Aside from a template tag (if you are only swapping out static content, then I think a template tag is the way to go), if the sites are gonna be different at all, template-wise, you can handle it by writing a custom template loader. </p> <p>This allows you to pick what templates you would like to use when you render your page. This method has a graceful way of failing if the loader fails to find a matching template for your specific domain. If it doesn't find a match, it will fall back to your main templates directory. So you could have custom stuff for some domains, and more generic for others.</p> <p>But to make a decision what to serve based upon a request header, you'll need to make the request available to the loader via _thread_locals, I do this in some middleware:</p> <pre><code>#custom.middleware.py try: from threading import local except ImportError: from django.utils._threading_local import local _thread_locals = local() def get_current_request(): return getattr(_thread_locals, 'request', None) class RequestMiddleware(): def process_request(self, request): _thread_locals.request = request </code></pre> <p>Next write a template loader (update the path to your middleware):</p> <pre><code>#custom.loaders.py from os.path import join from django.conf import settings from django.template import TemplateDoesNotExist from path.to.middleware import get_current_request def load_template_source(template_name, template_dirs=None): request = get_current_request() host = request.get_host() path_to_template_dir = None for site in settings.SITE_TEMPLATE_FOLDERS: if site[0] == host: path_to_template_dir = site[1] break if path_to_template_dir: try: filepath = join(path_to_template_dir, template_name) file = open(filepath) try: return (file.read(), filepath) finally: file.close() except IOError: pass raise TemplateDoesNotExist(template_name) </code></pre> <p>and lastly update your settings file with three things 1) add the template loader (make sure its listed first) 2) add the middleware 3) and then add a new variable SITE_TEMPLATE_FOLDERS with a tuple of tuples containing domains and paths to template folders:</p> <pre><code>#settings.py ..... TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'custom.loaders.load_template_source', 'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source', 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source', ) MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', 'domain.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'custom.middleware.RequestMiddleware', ) SITE_TEMPLATE_FOLDERS = ( ('mydomain.com', '/path/to/templates'), ('myotherdomain.com', '/path/to/other/templates') ) ... </code></pre> <p>Seems like a lot, but now you can easily add a new domain via your settings file.</p>
