Splash screen middleware for Django apps
Checks incoming requests, to redirect users to a configured splash screen URL if they don't have the proper cookie set. This can be used to display a small marketing landing page, protect an alpha website from the public eye, make an announcement, etc.
Meant to be used with https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/ -- or you will need to import the config_models application to your Django application: https://github.com/openedx/django-config-models
Add the application to the INSTALLED_APPS:
python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
# Splash screen
'splash',
)
Add the middleware to the configuration:
python
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
'splash.middleware.SplashMiddleware',
)
Run the migrations:
$ ./manage.py migrate splash
Then go to your Django admin, in http://yourserver/admin/splash/splashconfig/add/ and configure the following variables:
- enabled: To activate the feature
- cookie_name: The name of the cookie
- cookie_allowed_values: The user cookie value must match one of the values to not be redirected to the splash screen URL
- unaffected_users: Users which should never be redirected (usernames)
- redirect_url: The URL the users should be redirected to when they don't have the right cookie
