Hi everyone,
Scenario: I want to build a main menu with several entries. Some of the
entries should only be displayed if the user is logged in (profile,
settings), some only if it's an anonymous user (register, log in) and
some entries should be always visible (home, ...).
I tried it several ways now, but I just don't get it. The only way I
found working is to do everything in the views.py and pass a dict with
the menu entries to my template. As the menu is something that is
displayed on every single page, there must be a better way to do this.
So far, I tried to code an own template tag, an inclusion_tag and much
more to automate this for every page, but I always fail as I cannot get
access to the current user object in the custom template tag code. It
always tells me that the RequestContext object does not have a user
attribute:
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py", line
733, in render_node
raise wrapped
TemplateSyntaxError: Caught an exception while rendering: 'RequestContext'
object has no attribute 'user'
Original Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py", line
723, in render_node
result = node.render(context)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py", line
883, in render
dict = func(*args)
File "/www/mysite/dj_proj/lib/templatetags/Menus.py", line 41, in top_menu_tag
if context.user.is_authenticated():
AttributeError: 'RequestContext' object has no attribute 'user'
Could somebody point me somewhere, just to get an idea how to solve this
or, even better, how to to such dynamic menus based on user objects?
TIA.
