Why not have a base template that contains the menu variable ( I put mine in a session variable accessible to the templates named menu ), then have all of your other templates extend from that template?
In base.html: <head>your header code</head> <body> {% block menu %} {{ menu }} {% endblock%} {% block content %}{% endblock %} </body> Then in your other templates: {% extends "base.html" %} {% block content %} content for your html specific page here {% endblock %} On Jul 28, 1:13 pm, Eloff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got a nav.html template that does the menu on every page.
