Django - Adding a prefix when using reverse()

Is it possible to have a prefix when using the reverse function?

for example: I have reverse('foo') that point to www.bla.com/foo

but the URL needs to be www.bla.com/bla2/foo

So the bla2 would be the prefix

Thank you

If '/bla2' is the mount point for your Django application, with a correctly setup WSGI server you should not need to do anything to add it. This is because the WSGI server should already be sending through SCRIPT_NAME set as '/bla2' and Django should insert that automatically at the front of URLs constructed using reverse().

Can you explain what WSGI server you are using and/or whether you have it hosted behind a proxy front end that is publishing the site at a different URL mount point to the backend.

If you do have this situation where a front end is proxying as '/bla2', but the backend has it mounted at '/'. Then the Django setting you need to specify to force the backend to use '/bla2' and so insert the correct prefix is FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME.

Note that this affects the whole site.

if you need www.bla.com/bla2/foo then your foo url should be pointing to www.bla.com/bla2/foo not www.bla.com/foo

Other way to perform that, is creating a final url, something like this:

final_url = prefix + reverse('foo')

Note: reverse('foo') will output /foo/ not www.bla.com/foo
