Thanks for the reply, I've also just found out about context processors, which to me sound extremely similar to templatetags. The only problem I can see with both of these options is that I can't see how you pass extra options into them, whereas you can if the logic is contained within views.py
I think Django is great, but there are at least three different ways to do what I want which I think is almost too many options as I'm left utterly confused as to which is appropriate for the situation. Your answer makes sense, but how do context processors fit into all of this?
