Django Get Absolute URL

I want to get absolute url in templates. I can't do with url. It gives me a relative URL. I need to get this:

http://domain.tld/article/post

but Django gives me just

/article/post

I played with settings.py but it didn't work. (debug=false, allowed hosts vs.)

Template code:

{% url 'blog:detail' blog.slug %}
Solution

  • After a long time meeting with Django, I learned a lot of things. For this issue, I created an absolute URL templatetag.

    Add this to your template tags, then use like default url tag:

    {% absurl 'some-view' with, arguments %}

    Here is the Gist for the absolute URL templatetag, you will need to add request object to template_context_processors, otherwise this will not work. To achieve this, open your settings.py and add these following lines:

    from django.conf import global_settings
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + (
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
)
