You can use either custom template tags as suggested by others. The alternative is to create custom context processors that will add dynamic data you want to display into the context. Then you can use it even in your base template. However, you'll have to make sure each view uses a RequestContext when rendering templates in order for the context processors to be applied. As for the specific problem you're solving, RequestContext already contains user data which means you don't need anything extra. Just check in your base template if a user is logged in and show his username if yes or a login link otherwise. Michal signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I suggest reading about inclusion tags: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/custom-template-tags/ worked for me Gabe On 13 Maj, 07:51, Mateusz Marzantowicz wrote: > On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 5:15 AM, robinne wrote: > > How can I render dynamic content in a base template if I only call a> view on > my child template? > > > What I am trying to do is setup a base template that will include > > "Profile" information for the user who is logged in, for example: > > "Welcome John", instead of "login here", on every page.

The base template is rendered along with the child template, as long as the
child uses the {% extends %} tag.
