Thanks a lot for pointin me in the right direction! made a context_processor.py for my navigation, and added it to my settings.py
from basic.blog.models import Category from common.models import fillNavigationFinishedProjects from common.models import fillNavigationUnfinishedProjects def navigation(request): """ Adds navigation variables to the context. """ return { 'finishedProjects':fillNavigationFinishedProjects(), 'unfinishedProjects':fillNavigationUnfinishedProjects(), 'blogCategories':Category.objects.all(), } Seems to work perfectly! thanks much!
