django-settings-context-processor

What does it do?

Makes specified django settings visible in the template rendering context.

How does it do it?

django-settings-context-processor takes the settings variable TEMPLATE_VISIBLE_SETTINGS, which should be an iterable of strings, and looks for a settings of the name of each iterable. The name-value pair of this setting is then added to the template rendering context.

Can I see an example?

Yes! Assuming the root django-settings-context-processor is in your PYTHON_PATH, this should work:

settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = ('settings_context_processor',)
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS += ('settings_context_processor.context_processors.settings', )

# define some settings we'd like to export
CONTACT_PHONE='(555) 555-5555'
CONTACT_EMAIL='contact@someplace.com
CONTACT_ADDR_STREET='123 Anywhere Rd.'
CONTACT_ADDR_CITYSTATE='Anyplace, AS 12345'

# for settings_context_processor
TEMPLATE_VISIBLE_SETTINGS = (
    'CONTACT_PHONE',
    'CONTACT_EMAIL',
    'CONTACT_ADDR_STREET',
    'CONTACT_ADDR_CITYSTATE',
)

some_template.html:

<ul class="contact">
    <li>{{ CONTACT_PHONE }}</li>
    <li><a href="mailto:{{ CONTACT_EMAIL }}">{{ CONTACT_EMAIL }}</a></li>
    <li>{{ CONTACT_ADDR_STREET }}</li>
    <li>{{ CONTACT_ADDR_CITYSTATE }}</li>
</ul>
