Using template inheritance via base.html, I am creating a simple two-column site with a "content" and "sidebar" block. The inheritance feature works as expected. Basic html is inherited in my sidebar from base.html and can be written over in the sidebar block if so desired.
However, I'm perplexed about how to inherit an object into my sidebar block. Normally, when I call a view, I can retrieve an object and pass it to the html page via the dictionary in render_to_response. But in my site I need that same object in the sidebar of every rendering of the website. It seems I'm violating the DRY principle if I retrieve that object and put it into the dictionary of every render_to_response statement in every view. Isn't there a way to inherit the objects as well for every view? How do I make the values of an object appear in my sidebar (in other words in every view)? Thanks. --
