I'm not quite sure I understand your problem. A Template object is
passed a Context instance when it is rendered. This could be an instance
of the Context class or an instance of a subclass of Context (e.g.
RequestContext). That instance is passed around within the template
whenever a context is required.
So if your template is passed a RequestContext by whatever calls it at
rendering time, you will have access to the user variable. Within
templates, when template tags are called to be rendered, I am pretty
sure we just pass in the same context instance (i.e. we don't create a
new Context-specific class).
So it sounds like your templates are not being called with a
RequestContext instance in the first place. Are they?
Note that if you are using something like render_to_response() to render
the template, you will need to call it as
render_to_response(template_name, data_dict, RequestContext(request))
in order to pass a RequestContext instance to the template ultimately,
instead of just a Context.
If the above scattershot approach to information dispersal hasn't
answered your question somehow, perhaps you could clarify a bit more
what you are actually seeing happen?
Best wishes,
Malcolm
