Hi,
All you have to do is add what you want to the dictionary that you need for
your template. There isn't anything "magic" about the context. So for
example, if you want to have a model called "user" in the template, you can
add it by writing:
context = {}
context['user'] = User.objects.get(pk=user_id)
Fill the context with the information you want to present in the template
for presentation. It's not much harder than that....
In the template you can then access the objects in the context object via
{{user.fullName}} where you would get the fullname property from the user
object.
Regards,
Andréas
