Deprecated global context variables

These context variables are still provided in 1.10, but they will be removed in a future version, so make sure you aren't using them.

     
  • sitelocation: Renamed to site_settings.
    •  
  • settings.LOGIN_URL: Replace with {% url 'auth_login' %}?next={{ request.META.PATH_INFO }}
    •  
  • settings.LOGOUT_URL: Replace with {% url 'auth_logout' %}?next={{ request.META.PATH_INFO }}
    •  
  • settings.RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY
    •  
  • settings.<anything_else>: These settings are now available directly to the global context.
    •  
  • MEDIA_URL/settings.MEDIA_URL
    •  
  • user_is_admin: Use request.user_is_admin instead.
    •  
  • STATIC_URL: Use the {% static %} tag instead. (Django docs - but load uploadtemplate rather than staticfiles to check for static files in your theme first.)
    •  
  • display_submit_button: Use site_settings.display_submit_button.
    •  
  • VIDEO_STATUS_UNAPPROVED, VIDEO_STATUS_ACTIVE, VIDEO_STATUS_REJECTED: If you have a video instance called video, these can be accessed as {{ video.UNAPPROVED }}, {{ video.ACTIVE }}, and {{ video.REJECTED }}.
