How to make generic variables available in settings and contexts?

Ladies and gentleman, I am new to Django and would really love to have a solution for this: My goal is to share generated settings between my views/models and templates, without repeating myself. Right now I have following code, where the problem appears: #MY_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR.PY from django.c

Re: How to make generic variables available in settings and contexts?

If I understand you right, you want to set MAIN_CATEGORY as a "global" variable/setting containing a Category object with an ID of 1. Is that right? If so... Rather than populating a "global" variable, I would instead create a custom model manager for the Category model: https://docs.djangoprojec

Re: How to make generic variables available in settings and contexts?

Hi James, thanks a lot for pointing me to the models.Mangager option. Now this is really interesting. I will definetly check out how caching works. Now the question is: How do I now access the CategoryManager.get_main_category() in my template.html? I guess I have to pass it over to context wit

Queryset .count() breaks when counting distinct values generated by .extra()

Hi all, I think I've found a strange case where QuerySet.count() does not match len(queryset), and the behaviour is certainly unexpected. But I'm not sure whether this is a bug, some mistake on my part, or a known limitation of combining .extra(), .distinct() and .count(). I am aware of the defa
