django-middleware

I've made a Django site, but I've drank the Koolaid and I want to make an IPhone version. After putting much thought into I've come up with two options: Make a whole other site, like i.xxxx.com. Tie it into the same database using Django's sites framework. Find some time of middleware that reads the user-agent, and changes the template directories dynamically. I'd really prefer option #2, however; I have some reservations, mainly because the Django documentation discourages changing settings on the fly . I found a snippet that would do the what I'd like. My main issue is having it as seamless

I want to set a cookie if user is logged in or not. My middleware: class UserStatus(object): def process_response(self,request,response): user_status = 1 if request.user.is_authenticated() else 0 max_age = (20)*52*7*24*60*60 # 20 years (After expiry, cookie gets deleted) response.set_cookie(user_status_cookie,user_status,max_age) return response Added to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in settings.py at the end. Problem: Error: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user' Why, when I have the Authentication and the Session middlewares active already ? Also, some pages are working smooth where as some are

In my Django application I want to keep track of whether a response has been sent to the client successfully. I am well aware that there is no "watertight" way in a connectionless protocol like HTTP to ensure the client has received (and displayed) a response, so this will not be mission-critical functionality, but still I want to do this at the latest possible time. The response will not be HTML so any callbacks from the client (using Javascript or IMG tags etc.) are not possible. The "latest" hook I can find would be adding a custom middleware implementing process_response at the first

I am trying to create middleware to optionally pass a kwarg to every view that meets a condition. The problem is that I cannot find an example of how to set up the middleware. I have seen classes that override the method I want to, process_view : Class CheckConditionMiddleware(object): def process_view(self, request): return None But where do I put this class? Do I create a middleware app and put this class inside of it and then reference it in settings.middleware ? First: The path structure If you don't have it you need to create the middleware folder within your app following the structure:
