Hi, I'm just learning Django, and had a question with my first site.
To have a common layout for multiple pages (even those in different applications / python code folders) on the site, I'm using template inheritance. But the base template uses a few variables, for example the name of the logged in user and some of his settings. These need to be provided as parameters from *every* view's render_to_response call that uses a template inheriting from base. How should I structure my code to access these in every view? An idea I had was to: * make a basehelper.py to go with the base.html template * have a get_params(request) function there that returns a dict with the base template parameters * every view would use this and add its own values before passing it to render_to_response. But is there something more generic for this problem in Django?
