Available settings
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Here's a full list of all available settings, in alphabetical order, and their
|
|
default values.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES
|
|
|
|
ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``{}`` (Empty dictionary)
|
|
|
|
A dictionary mapping ``"app_label.model_name"`` strings to functions that take
|
|
a model object and return its URL. This is a way of overriding
|
|
``get_absolute_url()`` methods on a per-installation basis. Example::
|
|
|
|
ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES = {
|
|
'blogs.weblog': lambda o: "/blogs/%s/" % o.slug,
|
|
'news.story': lambda o: "/stories/%s/%s/" % (o.pub_year, o.slug),
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that the model name used in this setting should be all lower-case, regardless
|
|
of the case of the actual model class name.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ADMIN_FOR
|
|
|
|
ADMIN_FOR
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
Used for admin-site settings modules, this should be a tuple of settings
|
|
modules (in the format ``'foo.bar.baz'``) for which this site is an admin.
|
|
|
|
The admin site uses this in its automatically-introspected documentation of
|
|
models, views and template tags.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX
|
|
|
|
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'/media/'``
|
|
|
|
The URL prefix for admin media -- CSS, JavaScript and images used by
|
|
the Django administrative interface. Make sure to use a trailing
|
|
slash, and to have this be different from the ``MEDIA_URL`` setting
|
|
(since the same URL cannot be mapped onto two different sets of
|
|
files).
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ADMINS
|
|
|
|
ADMINS
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
A tuple that lists people who get code error notifications. When
|
|
``DEBUG=False`` and a view raises an exception, Django will e-mail these people
|
|
with the full exception information. Each member of the tuple should be a tuple
|
|
of (Full name, e-mail address). Example::
|
|
|
|
(('John', 'john@example.com'), ('Mary', 'mary@example.com'))
|
|
|
|
Note that Django will e-mail *all* of these people whenever an error happens.
|
|
See :ref:`howto-error-reporting` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS
|
|
|
|
ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
A tuple of strings representing allowed prefixes for the ``{% ssi %}`` template
|
|
tag. This is a security measure, so that template authors can't access files
|
|
that they shouldn't be accessing.
|
|
|
|
For example, if ``ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS`` is ``('/home/html', '/var/www')``,
|
|
then ``{% ssi /home/html/foo.txt %}`` would work, but ``{% ssi /etc/passwd %}``
|
|
wouldn't.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: APPEND_SLASH
|
|
|
|
APPEND_SLASH
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``True``
|
|
|
|
Whether to append trailing slashes to URLs. This is only used if
|
|
``CommonMiddleware`` is installed (see :ref:`topics-http-middleware`). See also
|
|
``PREPEND_WWW``.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
|
|
|
|
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``('django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',)``
|
|
|
|
A tuple of authentication backend classes (as strings) to use when attempting to
|
|
authenticate a user. See the :ref:`authentication backends documentation
|
|
<authentication-backends>` for details.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE

|
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: Not defined
|
|
|
|

|
|
:ref:`auth-profiles`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHE_BACKEND
|
|
|
|
CACHE_BACKEND
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'locmem://'``
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_KEY_PREFIX

|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The default number of seconds to cache a page when the caching middleware or
|
|
``cache_page()`` decorator is used.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN
|
|
|
|
CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The domain to be used when setting the CSRF cookie. This can be useful for
|
|
allowing cross-subdomain requests to be exluded from the normal cross site
|
|
request forgery protection. It should be set to a string such as
|
|
``".lawrence.com"`` to allow a POST request from a form on one subdomain to be
|
|
accepted by accepted by a view served from another subdomain.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CSRF_COOKIE_NAME
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'csrftoken'``
|
|
|
|
The name of the cookie to use for the CSRF authentication token. This can be whatever you
|
|
want. See :ref:`ref-contrib-csrf`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW
|
|
|
|
CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'django.views.csrf.csrf_failure'``
|
|
|
|
A dotted path to the view function to be used when an incoming request
|
|
is rejected by the CSRF protection. The function should have this signature::
|
|
|
|
def csrf_failure(request, reason="")
|
|
|
|
where ``reason`` is a short message (intended for developers or logging, not for
|
|
end users) indicating the reason the request was rejected. See
|
|
:ref:`ref-contrib-csrf`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: DATABASES
|
|
|
|
DATABASES
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default: ``{}`` (Empty dictionary)
|
|
|
|
A dictionary containing the settings for all databases to be used with
|
|
Django. It is a nested dictionary who's contents maps database aliases
|
|
to a dictionary containing the options for an individual database.
|
|
|
|
The :setting:`DATABASES` setting must configure a ``default`` database;
|
|
any number of additional databases may also be specified.
|
|
|
|
The simplest possible settings file is for a single-database setup using
|
|
SQLite. This can be configured using the following::
|
|
|
|
DATABASES = {
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
|
|
'NAME': 'mydatabase'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
For other database backends, or more complex SQLite configurations, other options
|
|
will be required. The following inner options are available.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ENGINE
|
|
|
|
ENGINE
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The database backend to use. The built-in database backends are:
|
|
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'``
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.postgresql'``
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.mysql'``
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.sqlite3'``
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.oracle'``
|
|
|
|
You can use a database backend that doesn't ship with Django by setting
|
|
``ENGINE`` to a fully-qualified path (i.e.
|
|
``mypackage.backends.whatever``). Writing a whole new database backend from
|
|
scratch is left as an exercise to the reader; see the other backends for
|
|
examples.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Prior to Django 1.2, you could use a short version of the backend name
|
|
to reference the built-in database backends (e.g., you could use
|
|
``'sqlite3'`` to refer to the SQLite backend). This format has been
|
|
deprecated, and will be removed in Django 1.4.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: HOST
|
|
|
|
HOST
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
Which host to use when connecting to the database. An empty string means
|
|
localhost. Not used with SQLite.
|
|
|
|
If this value starts with a forward slash (``'/'``) and you're using MySQL,
|
|
MySQL will connect via a Unix socket to the specified socket. For example::
|
|
|
|
"HOST": '/var/run/mysql'
|
|
|
|
If you're using MySQL and this value *doesn't* start with a forward slash, then
|
|
this value is assumed to be the host.
|
|
|
|
If you're using PostgreSQL, an empty string means to use a Unix domain socket
|
|
for the connection, rather than a network connection to localhost. If you
|
|
explicitly need to use a TCP/IP connection on the local machine with
|
|
PostgreSQL, specify ``localhost`` here.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: NAME
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The name of the database to use. For SQLite, it's the full path to the database
|
|
file. When specifying the path, always use forward slashes, even on Windows
|
|
(e.g. ``C:/homes/user/mysite/sqlite3.db``).
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``{}`` (Empty dictionary)
|
|
|
|
Extra parameters to use when connecting to the database. Consult backend
|
|
module's document for available keywords.

|
|
|
.. setting:: PASSWORD
|
|
|
|
PASSWORD
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The password to use when connecting to the database. Not used with SQLite.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: PORT
|
|
|
|
PORT
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The port to use when connecting to the database. An empty string means the
|
|
default port. Not used with SQLite.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USER
|
|
|
|
USER
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEST_CHARSET
|
|
|
|
TEST_CHARSET
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The character set encoding used to create the test database. The value of this
|
|
string is passed directly through to the database, so its format is
|
|
backend-specific.
|
|
|
|
Supported for the PostgreSQL_ (``postgresql``, ``postgresql_psycopg2``) and
|
|
MySQL_ (``mysql``) backends.
|
|
|
|
.. _PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/multibyte.html

|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEST_COLLATION
|
|
|
|
TEST_COLLATION
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The collation order to use when creating the test database. This value is
|
|
passed directly to the backend, so its format is backend-specific.
|
|
|
|
Only supported for the ``mysql`` backend (see the `MySQL manual`_ for details).
|
|
|
|
.. _MySQL manual: MySQL_
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEST_MIRROR
|
|
|
|
TEST_MIRROR
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The alias of the database that this database should mirror during
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
This setting exists to allow for testing of master/slave
|
|
configurations of multiple databases. See the documentation on
|
|
:ref:`testing master/slave configurations
|
|
<topics-testing-masterslave>` for details.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEST_NAME
|
|
|
|
TEST_NAME
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The name of database to use when running the test suite.
|
|
|
|
If the default value (``None``) is used with the SQLite database engine, the
|
|
tests will use a memory resident database. For all other database engines the
|
|
test database will use the name ``'test_' + DATABASE_NAME``.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`topics-testing`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: DATABASE_ROUTERS
|
|

|
|
to use when performing a database queries.
|

|
|
|
DATE_FORMAT
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'N j, Y'`` (e.g. ``Feb. 4, 2003``)
|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for displaying date fields in any part of the
|
|
system. Note that if :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True``, then the
|
|
locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead. See
|
|
:ttag:`allowed date format strings <now>`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
|
|
This setting can now be overriden by setting ``USE_L10N`` to ``True``.
|
|
|
|
See also ``DATETIME_FORMAT``, ``TIME_FORMAT`` and ``SHORT_DATE_FORMAT``.

'%b %d, %Y', '%d %b %Y', '%d %b, %Y', '%B %d %Y',
|
|
'%B %d, %Y', '%d %B %Y', '%d %B, %Y')
|
|
|
|
A tuple of formats that will be accepted when inputting data on a date
|
|
field. Formats will be tried in order, using the first valid.
|
|
Note that these format strings are specified in Python's datetime_ module
|
|
syntax, that is different from the one used by Django for formatting dates
|
|
to be displayed.
|
|
|
|
See also ``DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS`` and ``TIME_INPUT_FORMATS``.

|
|
|
|
Default: ``'N j, Y, P'`` (e.g. ``Feb. 4, 2003, 4 p.m.``)
|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for displaying datetime fields in any part of the
|
|
system. Note that if :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True``, then the
|
|
locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead. See

|
|
'%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S', '%m/%d/%y %H:%M', '%m/%d/%y')
|
|
|
|
A tuple of formats that will be accepted when inputting data on a datetime

field. Formats will be tried in order, using the first valid.
|
|
Note that these format strings are specified in Python's datetime_ module

|
.. setting:: DEBUG
|
|
|
|
DEBUG
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that turns on/off debug mode.
|
|
|
|
If you define custom settings, `django/views/debug.py`_ has a ``HIDDEN_SETTINGS``
|
|
regular expression which will hide from the DEBUG view anything that contains
|
|
``'SECRET'``, ``'PASSWORD'``, ``'PROFANITIES'``, or ``'SIGNATURE'``. This allows
|
|
untrusted users to be able to give backtraces without seeing sensitive (or
|
|
offensive) settings.
|
|
|
|
Still, note that there are always going to be sections of your debug output that
|
|
are inappropriate for public consumption. File paths, configuration options, and
|
|
the like all give attackers extra information about your server.
|
|
|
|
It is also important to remember that when running with ``DEBUG`` turned on, Django
|
|
will remember every SQL query it executes. This is useful when you are debugging,
|
|
but on a production server, it will rapidly consume memory.
|
|
|
|
Never deploy a site into production with ``DEBUG`` turned on.

--------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
If set to True, Django's normal exception handling of view functions
|
|
will be suppressed, and exceptions will propagate upwards. This can
|
|
be useful for some test setups, and should never be used on a live
|
|
site.

|
Default: ``'django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage'``
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. setting:: FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE

|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Default: ``2621440`` (i.e. 2.5 MB).
|
|
|
|
The maximum size (in bytes) that an upload will be before it gets streamed to
|
|

|
|
|
.. setting:: FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS

|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The numeric mode (i.e. ``0644``) to set newly uploaded files to. For
|
|
more information about what these modes mean, see the `documentation for
|
|
os.chmod`_
|
|
|
|
If this isn't given or is ``None``, you'll get operating-system
|
|
dependent behavior. On most platforms, temporary files will have a mode
|
|
of ``0600``, and files saved from memory will be saved using the
|
|
system's standard umask.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
**Always prefix the mode with a 0.**
|
|
|
|
If you're not familiar with file modes, please note that the leading
|
|
``0`` is very important: it indicates an octal number, which is the
|
|
way that modes must be specified. If you try to use ``644``, you'll
|
|
get totally incorrect behavior.

|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The directory to store data temporarily while uploading files. If ``None``,
|
|
Django will use the standard temporary directory for the operating system. For
|
|
example, this will default to '/tmp' on \*nix-style operating systems.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`topics-files` for details.

Default: ``0`` (Sunday)
|
|
|
|

format internationalization, or when a format cannot be found for the
|
|
current locale.
|
|
|
|

|
FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME
|
|

|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
If not ``None``, this will be used as the value of the ``SCRIPT_NAME``
|
|
environment variable in any HTTP request. This setting can be used to override
|
|
the server-provided value of ``SCRIPT_NAME``, which may be a rewritten version
|
|
of the preferred value or not supplied at all.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: FORMAT_MODULE_PATH
|
|
|
|
FORMAT_MODULE_PATH
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
A full Python path to a Python package that contains format definitions for
|
|
project locales. If not ``None``, Django will check for a ``formats.py``
|
|
file, under the directory named as the current locale, and will use the
|
|
formats defined on this file.
|
|
|
|
For example, if ``FORMAT_MODULE_PATH`` is set to ``mysite.formats``, and
|
|
current language is ``en`` (English), Django will expect a directory tree
|
|
like::
|
|
|
|
mysite/
|

|
|
``SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT``, ``FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK``, ``DECIMAL_SEPARATOR``,

.. setting:: INSTALLED_APPS
|
|

|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
A tuple of strings designating all applications that are enabled in this Django
|
|
installation. Each string should be a full Python path to a Python package that
|
|
contains a Django application, as created by :djadmin:`django-admin.py startapp
|
|
<startapp>`.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: App names must be unique
|
|
|
|
The application names (that is, the final dotted part of the
|
|
path to the module containing ``models.py``) defined in
|
|
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` *must* be unique. For example, you can't
|
|
include both ``django.contrib.auth`` and ``myproject.auth`` in
|
|
INSTALLED_APPS.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: INTERNAL_IPS
|
|
|
|
INTERNAL_IPS
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
A tuple of IP addresses, as strings, that:
|
|
|
|
* See debug comments, when ``DEBUG`` is ``True``
|
|
* Receive X headers if the ``XViewMiddleware`` is installed (see
|
|
:ref:`topics-http-middleware`)
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LANGUAGE_CODE
|
|
|
|
LANGUAGE_CODE
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'en-us'``
|
|
|
|
A string representing the language code for this installation. This should be in
|
|
standard :term:`language format<language code>`. For example, U.S. English is
|
|
``"en-us"``. See :ref:`topics-i18n`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LANGUAGE_COOKIE_NAME
|
|
|
|
LANGUAGE_COOKIE_NAME
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'django_language'``
|
|
|
|
The name of the cookie to use for the language cookie. This can be whatever you
|
|
want (but should be different from ``SESSION_COOKIE_NAME``). See
|
|
:ref:`topics-i18n`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LANGUAGES
|
|
|
|
LANGUAGES
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: A tuple of all available languages. This list is continually growing
|
|
and including a copy here would inevitably become rapidly out of date. You can
|
|
see the current list of translated languages by looking in
|
|
``django/conf/global_settings.py`` (or view the `online source`_).
|
|
|
|
.. _online source: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/conf/global_settings.py
|
|
|
|
The list is a tuple of two-tuples in the format ``(language code, language
|
|
name)``, the ``language code`` part should be a
|
|
:term:`language name<language code>` -- for example, ``('ja', 'Japanese')``.
|
|
This specifies which languages are available for language selection. See
|
|
:ref:`topics-i18n`.
|
|
|
|
Generally, the default value should suffice. Only set this setting if you want
|
|
to restrict language selection to a subset of the Django-provided languages.
|
|
|
|
If you define a custom ``LANGUAGES`` setting, it's OK to mark the languages as
|
|
translation strings (as in the default value displayed above) -- but use a
|
|
"dummy" ``gettext()`` function, not the one in ``django.utils.translation``.
|
|
You should *never* import ``django.utils.translation`` from within your
|
|
settings file, because that module in itself depends on the settings, and that
|
|
would cause a circular import.
|
|
|
|
The solution is to use a "dummy" ``gettext()`` function. Here's a sample
|
|
settings file::
|
|
|
|
gettext = lambda s: s
|
|
|
|
LANGUAGES = (
|
|
('de', gettext('German')),
|
|
('en', gettext('English')),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
With this arrangement, ``django-admin.py makemessages`` will still find and
|
|
mark these strings for translation, but the translation won't happen at
|
|
runtime -- so you'll have to remember to wrap the languages in the *real*
|
|
``gettext()`` in any code that uses ``LANGUAGES`` at runtime.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LOCALE_PATHS
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
The default formatting to use for date fields on Django admin change-list
|
|
pages -- and, possibly, by other parts of the system -- in cases when only the

For example, when a Django admin change-list page is being filtered by a date
|
|
drilldown, the header for a given day displays the day and month. Different
|
|
locales have different formats. For example, U.S. English would say
|
|
"January 1," whereas Spanish might say "1 Enero."

|
|
setting ``THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`` will be used as the separator between those
|
|
groups.

|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|

|
|
If you're using file-based session storage, this sets the directory in
|
|
which Django will store session data. See :ref:`topics-http-sessions`. When
|
|
the default value (``None``) is used, Django will use the standard temporary

|
|
|
|
A tuple of callables that are used to populate the context in ``RequestContext``.
|
|
These callables take a request object as their argument and return a dictionary
|
|
of items to be merged into the context.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
|
|
``"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages"`` was added to the

|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEMPLATE_DEBUG
|
|
|
|
TEMPLATE_DEBUG
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that turns on/off template debug mode. If this is ``True``, the fancy
|
|
error page will display a detailed report for any ``TemplateSyntaxError``. This
|
|
report contains the relevant snippet of the template, with the appropriate line
|
|
highlighted.
|
|
|
|
Note that Django only displays fancy error pages if ``DEBUG`` is ``True``, so
|
|
you'll want to set that to take advantage of this setting.
|

|
|
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader')
|
|
|
|
A tuple of template loader classes, specified as strings. Each ``Loader`` class
|
|
knows how to import templates from a particular source. Optionally, a tuple can be
|
|
used instead of a string. The first item in the tuple should be the ``Loader``'s
|
|
module, subsequent items are passed to the ``Loader`` during initialization. See
|
|
:ref:`ref-templates-api`.

|
See also ``NUMBER_GROUPING``, ``DECIMAL_SEPARATOR``
|
|

|
.. setting:: TIME_FORMAT
|
|
|
|
TIME_FORMAT
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'P'`` (e.g. ``4 p.m.``)
|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for displaying time fields in any part of the
|
|
system. Note that if :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True``, then the
|
|
locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead. See
|
|
:ttag:`allowed date format strings <now>`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
|
|
This setting can now be overriden by setting ``USE_L10N`` to ``True``.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TIME_INPUT_FORMATS
|
|
|
|
TIME_INPUT_FORMATS
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default: ``('%H:%M:%S', '%H:%M')``
|
|
|
|
A tuple of formats that will be accepted when inputting data on a time
|
|
field. Formats will be tried in order, using the first valid.
|
|
Note that these format strings are specified in Python's datetime_ module
|
|
syntax, that is different from the one used by Django for formatting dates
|
|
to be displayed.
|
|
|
|
See also ``DATE_INPUT_FORMATS`` and ``DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS``.
|
|
|
|
.. _datetime: http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TIME_ZONE
|
|
|
|
TIME_ZONE
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'America/Chicago'``
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.2
|
|
``None`` was added as an allowed value.
|
|
|
|
A string representing the time zone for this installation, or
|
|
``None``. `See available choices`_. (Note that list of available
|
|
choices lists more than one on the same line; you'll want to use just
|
|
one of the choices for a given time zone. For instance, one line says
|
|
``'Europe/London GB GB-Eire'``, but you should use the first bit of
|
|
that -- ``'Europe/London'`` -- as your ``TIME_ZONE`` setting.)
|
|
|
|
Note that this is the time zone to which Django will convert all
|
|
dates/times -- not necessarily the timezone of the server. For
|
|
example, one server may serve multiple Django-powered sites, each with
|
|
a separate time-zone setting.
|
|
|
|
Normally, Django sets the ``os.environ['TZ']`` variable to the time
|
|
zone you specify in the ``TIME_ZONE`` setting. Thus, all your views
|
|
and models will automatically operate in the correct time zone.
|
|
However, Django won't set the ``TZ`` environment variable under the
|
|
following conditions:
|
|
|
|
* If you're using the manual configuration option as described in
|
|
:ref:`manually configuring settings
|
|
<settings-without-django-settings-module>`, or
|
|
|
|
* If you specify ``TIME_ZONE = None``. This will cause Django to fall
|
|
back to using the system timezone.
|
|
|
|
If Django doesn't set the ``TZ`` environment variable, it's up to you
|
|
to ensure your processes are running in the correct environment.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Django cannot reliably use alternate time zones in a Windows
|
|
environment. If you're running Django on Windows, this variable
|
|
must be set to match the system timezone.

.. setting:: URL_VALIDATOR_USER_AGENT
|
|
|
|
URL_VALIDATOR_USER_AGENT
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``Django/<version> (http://www.djangoproject.com/)``
|
|
|
|
The string to use as the ``User-Agent`` header when checking to see if URLs
|
|
exist (see the ``verify_exists`` option on :class:`~django.db.models.URLField`).
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_ETAGS
|
|
|
|
USE_ETAGS
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies whether to output the "Etag" header. This saves
|
|
bandwidth but slows down performance. This is only used if ``CommonMiddleware``
|
|
is installed (see :ref:`topics-http-middleware`).
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_I18N
|
|
|
|
USE_I18N
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``True``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies whether Django's internationalization system should be
|
|
enabled. This provides an easy way to turn it off, for performance. If this is
|
|
set to ``False``, Django will make some optimizations so as not to load the
|
|
internationalization machinery.
|
|
|
|
See also ``USE_L10N``
|
|

|
.. setting:: USE_L10N
|
|
|
|
USE_L10N
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies if data will be localized by default or not. If this
|
|
is set to ``True``, e.g. Django will display numbers and dates using the
|
|
format of the current locale.
|
|
|
|
See also ``USE_I18N`` and ``LANGUAGE_CODE``
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
|
|
|
|
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
Default ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies wheter to display numbers using a thousand separator.
|
|
If this is set to ``True``, Django will use values from ``THOUSAND_SEPARATOR``
|
|
and ``NUMBER_GROUPING`` from current locale, to format the number.
|
|
``USE_L10N`` must be set to ``True``, in order to format numbers.
|
|
|
|
See also ``THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`` and ``NUMBER_GROUPING``.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: YEAR_MONTH_FORMAT
|
|
|
|
YEAR_MONTH_FORMAT
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'F Y'``
|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for date fields on Django admin change-list
|
|
pages -- and, possibly, by other parts of the system -- in cases when only the
|
|
year and month are displayed.
|
|
|
|
For example, when a Django admin change-list page is being filtered by a date
|
|
drilldown, the header for a given month displays the month and the year.
|
|
Different locales have different formats. For example, U.S. English would say
|
|
"January 2006," whereas another locale might say "2006/January."
|
|
|
|
See :ttag:`allowed date format strings <now>`. See also ``DATE_FORMAT``,
|
|
``DATETIME_FORMAT``, ``TIME_FORMAT`` and ``MONTH_DAY_FORMAT``.
