Well, currently you're relying on the extra_context parameter to your
generic views to pass in the category list. However, as you've noted,
this doesn't work for pages like search which aren't generated by
generic views.
So take the category_list stuff out of urls.py completely. Instead,
use an inclusion tag. This could be as simple as:
@register.inclusion_tag('_category_list.html')
def category_list():
return {'category_list':Category.objects.all()}
Now, take the template code that displays the list out of your base
template, and put it into a new file called _category_list.html. Back
in the base template, put:
{% load mytemplatetags %}{% category_list %}
(replace 'mytemplatetags' with whatever you've called the template tag
file you created). All done.
