Hello everyone,
I'm puzzling for some time now to get a solution for my following problem.
I hope someone can help me.
I need some context to be filtered before it's rendered in a template. To
do this I got the following piece of code saved in
catalog_context_processors.py :
from catalog.models import Category
def filter_active_category(request):
return {
'active_categories': Category.objects.filter(is_active=True),
'request': request
}
To make use of this context processor I need to get the file into
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. (right?)
When I search the internet almost every hit I get, tells me I have to
re-define TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in my settings file, copy the
contents of this variable from the global settings to my settings and add
my file ( catalog_context_processors ).
I have a feeling that it is a much better (cleaner) solution if I add the
following to my settings.py:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS +
(
'context_processors',
)
I have the following questions which I hope somebody can answer:
1. Am I right too use this construction at all? Or is there a better
solution to get this done in Django?
2. Are there best practices for this construction? With this I mean; if
this is the way too go...Where should the "context_processors.py" live?
(Which directory?)
Oh....I'm using Django 1.5.1.
Many thanks in advance for any pointers in the right direction!!
