Django Settings Site Domain example.com

It took me a while to figure out how to change from the default, example.com. Maybe it should have been obvious, but I was looking in all the wrong places and every search I did wouldn’t come up with an answer. As I discovered, it isn’t a setting in the settings.py file. It’s something that is in the database. You can change it through the Django admin interface, phpMyAdmin, or how ever you feel comfortable. It’s in the django_site table. When setting SITE_ID in settings.py it is the ID in this table. And this is the information that Site.objects.get_current().domain uses. Which is awesome for rss feeds and e-mails that you send out or anytime you need the domain in a link.

from django.contrib.sites.models import Site domain = Site.objects.get_current().domain
