Often times you’ll find that you need to use a constant that’s defined in your Django settings within a template. Unfortunately Django only provides access to a handful of settings by default. Anything beyond that small set, including custom constants that you have defined, are not accessible.
The easiest way to deal with this problem is to make use of a context processor. First, create a new file called context_processors.py within your application:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| from django.conf import settings | |
| def global_settings(request): | |
| # return any necessary values | |
| return { | |
| 'GOOGLE_ANALYTICS': settings.GOOGLE_ANALYTICS, | |
| 'GOOGLE_API_KEY': settings.GOOGLE_API_KEY | |
| } |
In this example I am making two constants available within my templates – GOOGLE_ANALYTICS and GOOGLE_API_KEY.
Next, add this new context processor to your settings:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( | |
| … | |
| 'app.context_processors.global_settings', | |
| ) |
Now you can make use of the constant from within your template:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.
