How can I add an attribute or variable? to the request object in
middleware, where I can use it in other views via the request object.
This is my custom middleware code so far:
class AliasMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
assert hasattr(request, 'session'), "The Django authentication
middleware requires session middleware to be installed. Edit your
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting to insert
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'."
if request.POST:
request.fun = request.POST['username']
return None
The line in question is:
request.fun = request.POST['username']
Do I need to add it to request.session? I was pretty sure that I could
add to the request object but it doesn't seem to work when I try
accessing the variable(should I call it an attribute? I have a C
background and still don't understand python that good yet) in my
views. I have the session and authentication middleware enabled like
so:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'mysite.middleware.AliasMiddleware',
'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',
)
Thanks for any help you can give me!
