Django template tag to return IP Address?

Question

I need to write a simple Django template tag that will display the user's IP Address?

Answer 1

You need to take the information from the request (via the view function) in order to present it on a template.

You can't trivially write a custom tag since the IP address must come from the request.

Answer 2

you can also do this using context processors, http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#writing-your-own-context-processors
