Nothing weird about that. Try reading the following section:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/#subclassing-context-requestcontext
And in particular, read about django.core.context_processors.auth.
Then you can {{user}} to your heart's content.
HTH,

Accessing User Object From Template
According to http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/ each template should have access to the variable "user" by default. However, after I login, this variable doesn't seem to be defined. Is there any special configuration required to have access to this? The only weird thing I imagine I could be doing is using render_to_response in my view. Would that be blocking the context from being populated correctly? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
