It's not clear exactly what you want. Using RequestContext and the request context processor will ensure that the request is present in all your templates. Is that enough? You say though that you need it 'in many models' - do you mean model methods? Can you give an example, perhaps there is a better way of achieving what you want to do. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
