Cannot pass current URL as parameter to the component

[Anil Dewani]

I've created a component named 'disqus' which accepts two parameters, namely 'url' and 'identifier'.

These paramters are dynamic in nature and value of the same will arrive from request object inside a django template.

I'm using the following code to execute the component but it does not parse the value of the variables request.build_absolute_uri and request.resolver_match.url_name. It just sends the plain string as the value, instead of getting actual dynamic value from django.

{% disqus url="{{ request.build_absolute_uri }}" identifier='{{ request.resolver_match.url_name }}' %}

Following is the html code i've setup as the disqus component:

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script>
    /**
    *  RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT AND UNCOMMENT THE SECTION BELOW TO INSERT DYNAMIC VALUES FROM YOUR PLATFORM OR CMS.
    *  LEARN WHY DEFINING THESE VARIABLES IS IMPORTANT: https://disqus.com/admin/universalcode/#configuration-variables    */

    var disqus_config = function () {
    this.page.url = '{{ url }}';
    this.page.identifier = '{{ identifier }}';
    };

    (function() { // DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
    var d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
    s.src = 'https://{{ global_preferences.disqus__site_id }}.disqus.com/embed.js';
    s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
    (d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
    })();
</script>

You are passing a string into the component as an argument.

Try this:

{% disqus url=request.build_absolute_uri identifier=request.resolver_match.url_name %}

I had the case (which is unrelated to your problem, just mentioning it here) where I wanted to pass in a URL determined via the url tag. That only worked by defining the URL as a variable first and then passing that variable to the component:

{% url 'some:url' as the_url %}
{% foo url=the_url %}

Perfect, this works. Thanks a lot.
Lesson learned.
