Hi David,
Not sure what you mean by "parent object". If author is a ForeignKey
in your blog_entry model, and author has a field called full_name,
then you should be able to use {{ blog_entry.author.full_name }}.
Otherwise, you could just place author in the context that's passed to
your templates.
blog_entry = ... # get blog entry
author = ... # get author
t = loader.get_template('blog/detail.html')
c = Context({
'blog_entry': blog_entry,
'author': author,
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
Hope this helps.
