This modification is to add a URL prefix to all URLs, so all the link generated within the CMS will have that prefix automatically implemented.
The reason I have implemented that change is because I had to match the URLs from my site to URL being proxied from another server. Since the proxied URL contains extra path (.eg example.com/welcome) and my site is running under the root (eg.mysite.com), I’m adding this prefix (in that case it would be /welcome) to all my site URL so it matches the ones from the proxy.
Ok so first, we must added this setting in settings.py:
1 | CMS_URL_PREFIX = '/welcome' |
Please we won’t use a slash in the end, since it’s already added by the URL resolver.
There are 2 areas where that prefix must be added:
In cms/models/page_model.py:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | def get_absolute_url(self, language=None, fallback=True): if self.is_home(): return reverse('pages-root', prefix=settings.CMS_URL_PREFIX) if settings.CMS_FLAT_URLS: path = self.get_slug(language, fallback) return urlutils.urljoin(reverse('pages-root', prefix=settings.CMS_URL_PREFIX), path) path = self.get_path(language, fallback) return urlutils.urljoin(reverse('pages-root', prefix=settings.CMS_URL_PREFIX), path) |

In menus/menu_pool.py:
