Hi, lastly, I needed to create a navbar for a project of mines compound by 
static and dynamic pages.
The problem I tried to solve was how to set a .current class to each item 
accordingly to the page visited.
Static objects were simple pages of which I knew URLs, dynamic one were 
simple "page" objects.

The template with which the navbar is built is the following: 
http://dpaste.com/hold/806276/

As you can see, I just made an `ifequal` check between `request.path` 
attribute and 
the hard coded href value for my static objects, while between the page 
path, passed by context,
and the `page.slug` value for my dynamic "page" objects.

To pass to all templaets the `request.path` value I added in settings.py 
into the `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` 
the value `'django.core.context_processors.request',` while to pass the 
path value in the class based view of
the page object, I added to its context `context['path'] = 
self.request.path[1:]`
Horrible, I know.

Now, while a noob, I "feel" this is not the **right** solution.
Up to you now: how would you solve the problem? Is there a best practice to 
solve similar issues?

p.s.
Why when I tried to just add, in settings.py, `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS 
+= ('django.core.context_processors.request',)` 
It didn't work? 
I needed to copy and paste the whole default context assignment, adding 
that to it, to avoid to get it emptied
when trying to just add that value in the above mentioned way.

Thanks you all for your help,
Giuseppe
