Re: Adding context data to a TemplateView?

[bobby]

An additional point, if you want to be able to use the view more 
generically (be able to pass in custom context from your urls.py), I've 
done the following:

class StaticPageView(TemplateView):
context = None

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(StaticPageView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context.update(self.context or {})
return context

Re: Adding context data to a TemplateView?

[Dan Gentry]

Roy, I agree with Fallen that a subclass of TemplateView is required here. 
 I have used this technique often.  Dan

class MyTemplateView(TemplateView):
template_name = 'my_template.html'

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(MyTemplateView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['custom_variable'] = u'my special data'
return context

Re: Adding context data to a TemplateView?

[Fallen Flint]

Take a look at 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/generic-views-migration/#extra-context
There's no way for provide an extra_context to a TemplateView. You need to 
subclass TemplateView and re-implement get_context_data in the way 
described in aforementioned topic.

This should help you out with adding extra context to TemplateView

The docs at

talk about "an extra optional parameter, extra_context", but I don't
get what they're trying to explain. I tried the obvious:

url(r'^about$',
TemplateView.as_view(template_name='legal_ipsum/about.html',
extra_context={'pagename': 'about'})
),

in my urls.py file, but that just raises: "TemplateView() received an
invalid keyword 'extra_context'". What am I missing here?

Re: Adding context data to a TemplateView?

Oh, and an extra set of curly braces:
url(r'^about$',
TemplateView.as_view(template_name='legal_ipsum/about.html',
{"extra_content":{"pagename":"about"}})),

Adding context data to a TemplateView?

[Roy Smith]

I'm using a generic TemplateView (django-1.4), but I want to be able to add 
something to the context.  Is that possible?

The docs at 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/generic-views/#adding-extra-context
 talk about "an extra optional parameter, extra_context", but I don't get what 
they're trying to explain.  I tried the obvious:

url(r'^about$',
TemplateView.as_view(template_name='legal_ipsum/about.html',
 extra_context={'pagename': 'about'})
),

in my urls.py file, but that just raises: "TemplateView() received an invalid 
keyword 'extra_context'".  What am I missing here?
