Hi,
First of all, you are using request.user.username and not username in your
template. If you want the username to be accessed via the "username"
variable. You should write this in your view:
def profile(request):
return render_to_response('accounts/profile.html', {'username':
request.user.username})
And then in your template use the following code:
<p>{{ username }}</p>
However if you want to use the request object you should use the
RequestContext context when rendering the page. See
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/templates/api/#subclassing-context-requestcontext
Also because you are using django 1.8, I would recommend that you start
using class based views instead of view functions. But that's just my
preference :-)
Regards,
Andréas
