It's not mentioned in the settings.py file, but that's why django has great
documentation available for it. See the link I posted before on how to use
the context processors. If you scroll up a little bit, the same page will
show you how to use the RequestContext class to your benefit.
In my case I use the render_to_response shortcut in my views and pass the
context_instance variable set as such:
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
Full use is
sample from views.py
from sample.models import News
from django.template import RequestContext
def index(request):
qs = News.objects.all()[:5]
return render_to_response('index.html',
{'items': qs},
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
)
Doing so, django will apply the context processors to your request object,
adding the contexts for use in your views.
I'm going to make a small suggestion, while the books are a great resource,
they should be used in addition to the actual documentation available, not
instead of.
Mike.
