Thanks for your prompt reply Alex :) I read up a bit on context processors here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#writing-your-own-context-processors and here http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter09/ The djangobook spelled it out very nicely for me :) "Each view passes the same three variables — app, user and ip_address — to its template. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could remove that redundancy? RequestContext and context processors were created to solve this problem. Context processors let you specify a number of variables that get set in each context automatically — without you having to specify the variables in each render_to_response() call. The catch is that you have to use RequestContext instead of Context when you render a template." I think its perfect for what I need to do! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
