In my project, I have a root template called base.html, which all other
templates extend.
I'd like to create a simple navigation with user information, which I
want to write once and put in the base template to be shown on every page.
I'm not sure what the best way of retrieving information from User
object at the template root level is. I've read about RequestContext
object and template processors, but the docs are not very clear to me
and leave a lot to be guessed. I've followed the guides, but still I
can't get User object in my template. But then again, perhaps the
solution is simple, and I'm just too dense to see it.
Below is the very simple view code I'm testing:
from django.template import RequestContext, loader
from django.http import HttpResponse
from myproject.apps.journal.models import Post
def main(request):
posts = Post.objects.filter(is_approved =
True).order_by('-time_added')[:5]
t = loader.get_template('homepage.html')
c = RequestContext({
'latest_posts': posts,
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
And here's a piece of template from "homepage.html":
{% block user_nav %}
<ul id="meta-nav">
{% if user %}
<li><a href="/community/member/{{ user.username }}/">{{ user.first_name
}}</a></li>
{% else %}
<li>Anonymous</li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
{% endblock %}
What am I doing wrong?
