Thanks for that. I was have just been playing with the
context_processors way which is great since it provides the data to
all templates.
Could you explain the include idea a bit further please.
Do you mean {% include some_other_template.html %} then how do I
handle the URL to trigger a view to populate that included template
with the content?
PS Thanks for the reply.
