Render_to_response no longer accepts a context instance parameter (or a “dirs” parameter). https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.10/
I encourage you to read this document before performing an upgrade: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/upgrade-version/ In particular, read the release notes (as time consuming as it is) of each version between the two versions you are upgrading from and to. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Drew Ferguson Sent: Friday, November 25, 2016 5:43 PM To: Django users Subject: Re: user object not available in template I just upgraded from 1.5 or something where the code worked fine I'm not sure what has changed in 1.10 but everything is back to normal after I changed def homepage(request): return render_to_response('xstatic_homepage.html', RequestContext(request)) to def homepage(request): return render(request, 'xstatic_homepage.html') Can someone explain this for me please?
