There is another way as well. What you can do is have Middleware that gets the url, parses the subdomain and then renders a user profile page.
This is assuming you are using a custom profile page and not the default profile page.
#in yourapp.middleware
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
import logging
import yourapp.views as yourappviews
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
class AccountMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
path = request.META['PATH_INFO']
domain = request.META['HTTP_HOST']
pieces = domain.split('.')
username = pieces[0]
try:
user = User.objects.get(username=username)
if path in ["/home","/home/"]:
return yourappviews.user_profile(request, user.id)
#In yourapp.views.py
def user_profile(request,id):
user = User.objects.get(id=id)
return render(request, "user_profile.html", {"user": user})
#In settings.py
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
#... other imports here
'yourapp.middleware.AccountMiddleware'
)
