I suggest to have a look to www.reviewboard.org since they have solved this problem a long time ago. > I have currently FlatPage app > running perfectly with this, only thing I needed to change from > flatpage view was following: > ... > # Get request's site id, fallback to settings.SITE_ID > site_id = getattr(request, 'site_id', settings.SITE_ID) > f = get_object_or_404(FlatPage, url__exact=url, > sites__id__exact=site_id) > ... > > I think this SITE_ID per request is a great idea, worth thinking for > Django itself. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to django-developers@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > django-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
