Load template based on domain - django

Question

There are two sites with different domains (first_example.com, second_example.com). They have a common database and common logic.
The task is what needs to be done so that for each of the sites its own template is loaded.
For example, there will be a file structure
__landing
____templates
______landing
________site_1
__________ index.html
________site_2
__________ index.html
It is necessary that when opening the first domain, templates from site_1 are loaded.
And when opening the second domain, templates from site_2 were loaded.
I think I need to write somehow template_loader, but I don’t understand yet how to do it.

Answer 1

Instead of nesting the "per-site" templates within the template directory structure, use two distincts root template directories, ie instead of
/templates
/app-one
site1/
index.html
site2/
index.html
you want:
/site1-templates
/app-one
index.html
/site2-templates
/app-one
index.html
Then in each setting file (you have a distinct settings for each site do you ?), just specify the proper path for TEMPLATES.DIRS
# site1 settings
TEMPLATES = [{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'site1-templates'),
],
'OPTIONS': {
# etc
}
}]
NB: if you need to keep some common templates, you can have them in a third directory (ie basetemplates) and add this after the site-specific path in TEMPLATES.DIRS.
TEMPLATES = [{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'site1-templates'),
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'base-templates'),
],
'OPTIONS': {
# etc
}
}]
