You need to activate the "django.core.context_processors.request"
context processor. To do that you should add the following to your
settings.py file:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.core.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.request',
)
Then, to actually have your context processors activated during a
template rendering, you must pass a RequestContext as the context for
your template. In other words, when you are returning a
render_to_response() in your view you should do it like this:
def my_view(request):
# do your stuff....
....
return render_to_response('my_template.html',
my_data,
context_instance=RequestContext(request) )
Take a look at the documentation here:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/#subclassing-context-requestcontext
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Jorge
