To me, this feels overly complex. Here's how I do current element selection
in navigation, without context processors, by passing variables during the
navigation's include statement. It does make templates a bit more verbose,
but seems very clear and simple.
In each page template:
{% block app_nav %}
{% include "dirapp/include/nav.html" with active_tab='something' %}
{% endblock app_nav %}
In the navigation:
<a href="{% url 'foo' %}"
class="list-group-item {% if active_tab == 'something' %}active{% endif
%}">Foo
</a>
