As a general rule context processors are great when you need the information on any page at any given time. Template tags are good when you need information in certain places. > I don't know which is better and why, and if you've other ideas to do > it I'm very interested in know them. In reality they both do the same thing and it is up to you how they work. Think of it as over head. Without any caching in place a context processor will make a call to the database (or multiple calls) for every page that is loaded. A template tag will only be loaded on the pages you load it on and only call the database when you call the tag. it up to you if you need it that much. I recommend you use django-logging and view your SQL queries. It is always a good thing to see if your page loads are much heavier than you expect. Then you can decide on how you want to hit your db, whether it be with a selectively chosen template tag or a brute force context processor. > Thanks and sorry about my english.
