Splash screen middleware for Django apps

Overview

Checks incoming requests, to redirect users to a configured splash screen URL if they don’t have the proper cookie set. This can be used to display a small marketing landing page, protect an alpha website from the public eye, make an announcement, etc.

Meant to be used with https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/ – or you will need to import the config_models application to your Django application: https://github.com/edx/django-config-models

Installation

Add the application to the INSTALLED_APPS:

python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    # Splash screen
    'splash',
)

Add the middleware to the configuration:

python
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'splash.middleware.SplashMiddleware',
)

Run the migrations:

$ ./manage.py migrate splash

Then go to your Django admin, in http://yourserver/admin/splash/splashconfig/add/ and configure the following variables:

  • enabled: To activate the feature

  • cookie_name: The name of the cookie

  • cookie_allowed_values: The user cookie value must match one of the values to not be redirected to the splash screen URL

  • unaffected_users: Users which should never be redirected (usernames)

  • redirect_url: The URL the users should be redirected to when they don’t have the right cookie
