Sorry, posted too soon. Also, you have to send an instance of
RequestContext to your templates.
I quote from the docs again:
"
def some_view(request):
# ...
return render_to_response('my_template.html',
my_data_dictionary,
context_instance=RequestContext
(request))
"
So, 1) ensure your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS contains the media
processor, and then 2) pass a RequestContext to your templates.
Hope that helps,
BN
