Public Source Code Repository:

• https://bitbucket.org/gnotaras/django-context-extras

Installation¶

Add it to the INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'context_extras',
)

Configuration¶

django-context-extras requires no configuration. However, in order to use the provided context processors it is required that you add them to the list of the context processors your project uses.

Django, by default, uses the following context processors:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
    "django.core.context_processors.debug",
    "django.core.context_processors.i18n",
    "django.core.context_processors.media",
    "django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages" 
)

See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/settings/#template-context-processors

The context processors provided by django-context-extras are:

current_site context processor¶

Adds the current "site" object to the template context.

To add the 'current_site' context processor to your project, add the 'context_extras.context_processors.current_site' module in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting in your settings.py file

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    ...
    'context_extras.context_processors.current_site',
    ...
)

project_settings context processor¶

Adds the project's "settings" object to the template context.

To add the 'project_settings' context processor to your project, add the'context_extras.context_processors.project_settings' module in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting in your settings.py file

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    ...
    'context_extras.context_processors.project_settings',
    ...
)
