I am new to Jinja2 and I seem to be having problems to understand how template inheritance works. I have a page with a main menu. The menu is a python object, which generates menu markup.
Now the menu should be displayed on every single page - therefore, should be a part of the base template. Each page content should be a child template, which extends the base. I believe I got this right, or? Now the problem: How do I pass the menu object to the base template context? I tried to do this by getting the base template from the environment first, passing the menu object to the globals of base, passing the base to the context of page and then rendering the page. This does not work. The base template is rendered without the menu. I tried rendering the base separately and the menu object is rendered with it. I tried to provide the menu object through environment globals and it's the only way which works for me - but somehow, it does not feel right. Why are base template's globals not working? Is there any other way, more appropriate way, to pass variables to the base template? I guess it's me again doing something wrong. I would be very thankful for someone's insight.
