# “sites” 프레임워크

Django comes with an optional “sites” framework. It’s a hook for associating objects and functionality to particular websites, and it’s a holding place for the domain names and “verbose” names of your Django-powered sites.

당신이 만든 하나의 Django 어플리케이션이 한 사이트 이상에 설치 되는 것을 지원하고, 각각 사이트를 특정한 방법으로 구별해야 하는 경우에 사용하세요.

The sites framework is mainly based on this model:

class models.Site

  웹사이트의 `domain`과 ``name` 속성을 저장하는 모델.

  domain

    웹사이트 관련하여 완전히 검증된 도메인 이름. 예를들어 , `www.example.com`.

  name

    사람이 읽기 좋도록 한 웹사이트의 “상세한(verbose)” 이름

The `SITE_ID` setting specifies the database ID of the `Site` object associated with that particular settings file. If the setting is omitted, the `get_current_site()` function will try to get the current site by comparing the `domain` with the host name from the `request.get_host()` method.

How you use this is up to you, but Django uses it in a couple of ways automatically via a couple of conventions.

## Example usage

Why would you use sites? It’s best explained through examples.

### Associating content with multiple sites

The LJWorld.com and Lawrence.com sites were operated by the same news organization – the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper in Lawrence, Kansas. LJWorld.com focused on news, while Lawrence.com focused on local entertainment. But sometimes editors wanted to publish an article on both sites.

The naive 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’s inefficient for site producers, and it’s redundant to store multiple copies of the same story in the database.

A better solution removes the content duplication: Both sites use the same article database, and an article is associated with one or more sites. In Django model terminology, that’s represented by a `ManyToManyField` in the `Article` model:

    from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
    from django.db import models

    class Article(models.Model):
        headline = models.CharField(max_length=200)
        # ...
        sites = models.ManyToManyField(Site)

This accomplishes several things quite nicely:

- It lets the site producers edit all content – on both sites – in a single interface (the Django admin).

- It means the same story doesn’t have to be published twice in the database; it only has a single record in the database.

- It lets the site developers use the same Django view code for both sites. The view code that displays a given story checks to make sure the requested story is on the current site. It looks something like this:

      from django.contrib.sites.shortcuts import get_current_site

      def article_detail(request, article_id):
          try:
              a = Article.objects.get(id=article_id, sites__id=get_current_site(request).id)
          except Article.DoesNotExist:
              raise Http404("Article does not exist on this site")
          # ...

### Associating content with a single site

Similarly, you can associate a model to the `Site` model in a many-to-one relationship, using `ForeignKey`.

For example, if an article is only allowed on a single site, you’d use a model like this:

    from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
    from django.db import models

    class Article(models.Model):
        headline = models.CharField(max_length=200)
        # ...
        site = models.ForeignKey(Site, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

This has the same benefits as described in the last section.

### Hooking into the current site from views

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:

    from django.conf import settings

    def my_view(request):
        if settings.SITE_ID == 3:
            # Do something.
            pass
        else:
            # Do something else.
            pass

It’s fragile to hardcode the site IDs like that, in case they change. The cleaner way of accomplishing the same thing is to check the current site’s domain:

    from django.contrib.sites.shortcuts import get_current_site

    def my_view(request):
        current_site = get_current_site(request)
        if current_site.domain == "foo.com":
            # Do something
            pass
        else:
            # Do something else.
            pass

This has also the advantage of checking if the sites framework is installed, and return a `RequestSite` instance if it is not.

If you don’t have access to the request object, you can use the `get_current()` method of the `Site` model’s manager. You should then ensure that your settings file does contain the `SITE_ID` setting. This example is equivalent to the previous one:

    from django.contrib.sites.models import Site

    def my_function_without_request():
        current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
        if current_site.domain == "foo.com":
            # Do something
            pass
        else:
            # Do something else.
            pass

### Getting the current domain for display

LJWorld.com and Lawrence.com both have email alert functionality, which lets readers sign up to get notifications when news happens. It’s pretty basic: A reader signs up on a web form and immediately gets an email saying, “Thanks for your subscription.”

It’d be inefficient and redundant to implement this sign up processing code twice, so the sites use the same code behind the scenes. But the “thank you for signing up” notice needs to be different for each site. By using `Site` objects, we can abstract the “thank you” notice to use the values of the current site’s `name` and `domain`.

Here’s an example of what the form-handling view looks like:

    from django.contrib.sites.shortcuts import get_current_site
    from django.core.mail import send_mail

    def register_for_newsletter(request):
        # Check form values, etc., and subscribe the user.
        # ...

        current_site = get_current_site(request)
        send_mail(
            "Thanks for subscribing to %s alerts" % current_site.name,
            "Thanks for your subscription. We appreciate it.\n\n-The %s team."
            % (current_site.name,),
            "editor@%s" % current_site.domain,
            [user.email],
        )

        # ...

On Lawrence.com, this email has the subject line “Thanks for subscribing to lawrence.com alerts.” On LJWorld.com, the email has the subject “Thanks for subscribing to LJWorld.com alerts.” Same goes for the email’s message body.

Note that an even more flexible (but more heavyweight) way of doing this would be to use Django’s template system. Assuming Lawrence.com and LJWorld.com have different template directories (`DIRS`), you could farm out to the template system like so:

    from django.core.mail import send_mail
    from django.template import loader

    def register_for_newsletter(request):
        # Check form values, etc., and subscribe the user.
        # ...

        subject = loader.get_template("alerts/subject.txt").render({})
        message = loader.get_template("alerts/message.txt").render({})
        send_mail(subject, message, "editor@ljworld.com", [user.email])

        # ...

In this case, you’d have to create `subject.txt` and `message.txt` template files for both the LJWorld.com and Lawrence.com template directories. That gives you more flexibility, but it’s also more complex.

It’s a good idea to exploit the `Site` objects as much as possible, to remove unneeded complexity and redundancy.

### Getting the current domain for full URLs

Django’s `get_absolute_url()` convention is nice for getting your objects’ URL without the domain name, but in some cases you might want to display the full URL – with `https://` and the domain and everything – for an object. To do this, you can use the sites framework. An example:

    >>> from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
    >>> obj = MyModel.objects.get(id=3)
    >>> obj.get_absolute_url()
    '/mymodel/objects/3/'
    >>> Site.objects.get_current().domain
    'example.com'
    >>> "https://%s%s" % (Site.objects.get_current().domain, obj.get_absolute_url())
    'https://example.com/mymodel/objects/3/'

## Enabling the sites framework

To enable the sites framework, follow these steps:

1. Add `'django.contrib.sites'` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting.

2. Define a `SITE_ID` setting:

       SITE_ID = 1

3. Run `migrate`.

`django.contrib.sites` registers a `post_migrate` signal handler which creates a default site named `example.com` with the domain `example.com`. This site will also be created after Django creates the test database. To set the correct name and domain for your project, you can use a data migration.

In order to serve different sites in production, you’d create a separate settings file with each `SITE_ID` (perhaps importing from a common settings file to avoid duplicating shared settings) and then specify the appropriate `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` for each site.

## Caching the current `Site` object

As the current site is stored in the database, each call to `Site.objects.get_current()` could result in a database query. But Django is a little cleverer than that: on the first request, the current site is cached, and any subsequent call returns the cached data instead of hitting the database.

If for any reason you want to force a database query, you can tell Django to clear the cache using `Site.objects.clear_cache()`:

    # First call; current site fetched from database.
    current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
    # ...

    # Second call; current site fetched from cache.
    current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
    # ...

    # Force a database query for the third call.
    Site.objects.clear_cache()
    current_site = Site.objects.get_current()

## The `CurrentSiteManager`

class managers.CurrentSiteManager

If `Site` plays a key role in your application, consider using the helpful `CurrentSiteManager` in your model(s). It’s a model manager that automatically filters its queries to include only objects associated with the current `Site`.

Mandatory `SITE_ID`

The `CurrentSiteManager` is only usable when the `SITE_ID` setting is defined in your settings.

Use `CurrentSiteManager` by adding it to your model explicitly. For example:

    from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
    from django.contrib.sites.managers import CurrentSiteManager
    from django.db import models

    class Photo(models.Model):
        photo = models.FileField(upload_to="photos")
        photographer_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        pub_date = models.DateField()
        site = models.ForeignKey(Site, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
        objects = models.Manager()
        on_site = CurrentSiteManager()

With this model, `Photo.objects.all()` will return all `Photo` objects in the database, but `Photo.on_site.all()` will return only the `Photo` objects associated with the current site, according to the `SITE_ID` setting.

Put another way, these two statements are equivalent:

    Photo.objects.filter(site=settings.SITE_ID)
    Photo.on_site.all()

How did `CurrentSiteManager` know which field of `Photo` was the `Site`? By default, `CurrentSiteManager` looks for a either a `ForeignKey` called `site` or a `ManyToManyField` called `sites` to filter on. If you use a field named something other than `site` or `sites` to identify which `Site` objects your object is related to, then you need to explicitly pass the custom field name as a parameter to `CurrentSiteManager` on your model. The following model, which has a field called `publish_on`, demonstrates this:

    from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
    from django.contrib.sites.managers import CurrentSiteManager
    from django.db import models

    class Photo(models.Model):
        photo = models.FileField(upload_to="photos")
        photographer_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        pub_date = models.DateField()
        publish_on = models.ForeignKey(Site, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
        objects = models.Manager()
        on_site = CurrentSiteManager("publish_on")

If you attempt to use `CurrentSiteManager` and pass a field name that doesn’t exist, Django will raise a `ValueError`.

Finally, note that you’ll probably want to keep a normal (non-site-specific) `Manager` on your model, even if you use `CurrentSiteManager`. As explained in the manager documentation, if you define a manager manually, then Django won’t create the automatic `objects = models.Manager()` manager for you. Also note that certain parts of Django – namely, the Django admin site and generic views – use whichever manager is defined first in the model, so if you want your admin site to have access to all objects (not just site-specific ones), put `objects = models.Manager()` in your model, before you define `CurrentSiteManager`.

## Site middleware

If you often use this pattern:

    from django.contrib.sites.models import Site

    def my_view(request):
        site = Site.objects.get_current()
        ...

To avoid repetitions, add `django.contrib.sites.middleware.CurrentSiteMiddleware` to `MIDDLEWARE`. The middleware sets the `site` attribute on every request object, so you can use `request.site` to get the current site.

## How Django uses the sites framework

Although it’s not required that you use the sites framework, it’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 `domain` and `name`, and point to its ID in your `SITE_ID` setting.

Here’s how Django uses the sites framework:

- In the `redirects framework`, each redirect object is associated with a particular site. When Django searches for a redirect, it takes into account the current site.

- In the `flatpages framework`, each flatpage is associated with a particular site. When a flatpage is created, you specify its `Site`, and the `FlatpageFallbackMiddleware` checks the current site in retrieving flatpages to display.

- In the `syndication framework`, the templates for `title` and `description` automatically have access to a variable `{{ site }}`, which is the `Site` object representing the current site. Also, the hook for providing item URLs will use the `domain` from the current `Site` object if you don’t specify a fully-qualified domain.

- In the `authentication framework`, `django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView` passes the current `Site` name to the template as `{{ site_name }}`.

- The shortcut view (`django.contrib.contenttypes.views.shortcut`) uses the domain of the current `Site` object when calculating an object’s URL.

- In the admin framework, the “view on site” link uses the current `Site` to work out the domain for the site that it will redirect to.

## `RequestSite` objects

Some django.contrib applications take advantage of the sites framework but are architected in a way that doesn’t require the sites framework to be installed in your database. (Some people don’t want to, or just aren’t able to install the extra database table that the sites framework requires.) For those cases, the framework provides a `django.contrib.sites.requests.RequestSite` class, which can be used as a fallback when the database-backed sites framework is not available.

class requests.RequestSite

  A class that shares the primary interface of `Site` (i.e., it has `domain` and `name` attributes) but gets its data from a Django `HttpRequest` object rather than from a database.

  __init__(request)

    Sets the `name` and `domain` attributes to the value of `get_host()`.

A `RequestSite` object has a similar interface to a normal `Site` object, except its `__init__()` method takes an `HttpRequest` object. It’s able to deduce the `domain` and `name` by looking at the request’s domain. It has `save()` and `delete()` methods to match the interface of `Site`, but the methods raise `NotImplementedError`.

## `get_current_site` shortcut

Finally, to avoid repetitive fallback code, the framework provides a `django.contrib.sites.shortcuts.get_current_site()` function.

shortcuts.get_current_site(request)

  A function that checks if `django.contrib.sites` is installed and returns either the current `Site` object or a `RequestSite` object based on the request. It looks up the current site based on `request.get_host()` if the `SITE_ID` setting is not defined.

  Both a domain and a port may be returned by `request.get_host()` when the Host header has a port explicitly specified, e.g. `example.com:80`. In such cases, if the lookup fails because the host does not match a record in the database, the port is stripped and the lookup is retried with the domain part only. This does not apply to `RequestSite` which will always use the unmodified host.
