If you want to run multiple versions of a site from the same project IE a staging version and the live one, you need two settings and urlconf files.

  1. make separate copies of settings_staging.py and urls_staging.py in the project dir.
  2. Change SITE_ID and ROOT_URLCONF in settings_staging.py
  3. Make extra include lines in the projects urls_staging.py like the example.
  4. Add urls_staging.py to applications where you need extra urls. Make them just like you would normally do urls.py

Thanks to ronny for suggesting the double entries in urlconf.

    (r'^places/', include('live.place.urls.places_staging')),
    (r'^places/', include('live.place.urls.places')),
    (r'^comments/', include('live.place.urls.comments_staging')),
    (r'^comments/', include('live.place.urls.comments')),

    (r'^users/', include('live.users.urls_staging')),
    (r'^users/', include('live.users.urls')),

    (r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
)

# in the app urls_staging.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('live.users.views.account',
    (r'^account$', 'my_account'),
    (r'^account/friends$', 'friends'),
)
