Question

The current setup ends up substituting example.com into the below code from the template. I want it to point to localhost:8000

Without hard coding this, where and how can I change the template so that the site is linked to my localhost?

The site object in the template comes from the Django Site model. When you do a syncdb, it defaults automatically to example.com

If you login to Django’s admin interface, you will find “Sites”. Inside it, you will be able to change example.com to whatever you like.
