are you talking about this? http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/#messages or something else? If the function takes no parameters and returns a string, you can pass it in the context and call it like a variable. {{ myfunction }} I believe this will call the function each time it is used. I'd probably do something like this instead. def my_view(request): extra = dict() extra["message"] = myfunction(args, and, stuff) return render_to_response("mytemplate", extra) see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/shortcuts/#render-to-response -- Norman J.
