The template tag `fullurl` acts just like `url`, but it always prints absolute URLs with scheme and domain
Project description
Introduction
django-fullurl adds two new template tags: fullurl and fullstatic. They behave like url and static respectively, but they always return an absolute URL with the scheme and authority/domain parts.
For example, take this url tag:
{% url "articles:article" slug="hello" %}
In our example, this prints:
/articles/hello
This is called by some an absolute URL, because it begins with a forward-slash. However, it is not an absolute absolute URL, because it does not contain the scheme and authority parts.
If we replace url with fullurl, it will print this result:
http://example.com/articles/hello
Behind the scenes, it uses request.build_absolute_uri to determine the correct scheme and authority/domain parts.
In the same way that fullurl extends url, fullstatic extends the static template tag.
Installation
Run on the command-line:
$ pip install django-fullurl
Make sure these two apps are included in your INSTALLED_APPS settings:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'fullurl',
# ...
]
Make sure django.template.context_processors.request is included in your context processors.
Example usage
OpenGraph URLs need to be absolute, including scheme and authority parts. Here’s how you can use fullurl and fullstatic to help with this:
{% load fullurl %}
<meta property="og:url" content="{% fullurl "articles:article" article=article %}">
<meta property="og:image" content="{% fullstatic "cat.jpg" %}">

Here are some alternatives, in alphabetical order:
django-absoluteuri (GitHub, Django Packages) provides two template tags: absoluteuri and absolutize. Unlike this app, it uses the site framework to determine the domain to use, which could be an additional database query. This can be useful in some situations, for instance when creating emails.
django-absoluteurl (GitHub, Django Packages) provides a template tag absoluteurl that works in a similar fashion as fullurl. It does not seem to work in Python 2, or with newer Django versions, however.
django-urltags (Django Packages) provides a few template tags, including absurl, but it hasn’t been updated since 2012 and it doesn’t seem to work on recent Django versions.
