I appended the username to the subdomain with an underscore. So in the database, usernames were stored as subdomain_username.

How did you solve the problems of unique usernames? You want usernames to be unique to the subdomain but django enforces global uniqueness.

I’ve actually posted the middleware on django snippets: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1119/

Let me know if you need more info. I’m using this in a couple of places, such as http://housesheet.com

Hi,

Have you made any progress in this topic since this post was written? I am interested how to handle subdomains in Django but I didn’t find enough infromation how to do that so far.

I’ve alse have noticed that link to middleware code is not available no more – can you post it again? Or maybe put your code on http://www.djangosnippets.org

Regards,

Hi Dustin! Did you make any progress on Django accounts with subdomains? I need this feature in an upcoming project and I thought we could maybe we could share some experiences.

Cool. Maybe when you’re done you can share! I thought about putting in Django snippets, but I didn’t think there was enough to it yet. I still need to figure out the registration and login portion.

Cool trick. I have something similar in my developments.

But I would rather put the script into http://www.djangosnippets.org, because it will be deleted from dpaste when the time expires.
