How to check the TEMPLATE_DEBUG flag in a django template?
If modifying INTERNAL_IPS
is not possible/suitable, you can do this with a context processor:
in myapp/context_processors.py
:
from django.conf import settings
def debug(context):
return {'DEBUG': settings.DEBUG}
in settings.py
:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
...
'myapp.context_processors.debug',
)
Then in my templates, simply:
{% if DEBUG %} .header { background:#f00; } {% endif %}
Assuming you haven't set TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
to some other value in settings.py
, Django will automatically load the debug
context preprocessor (as noted here). This means that you will have access to a variable called debug
in your templates if settings.DEBUG
is true and your local machine's IP address (which can simply be 127.0.0.1) is set in the variable settings.INTERNAL_IPS
(which is described here). settings.INTERNAL_IPS
is a tuple or list of IP addresses that Django should recognize as "internal".
