Passing request.user to template in Django

问题

Is there another way to get the request.user by not passing it from the views? I think passing request.user from all functions in views to the template is quite wrong. Is there any method or way that the template will get the user or any object in the database?

回答1:

By default (I am talking about Django version 1.3) you do not need change TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. Because default value already contains *django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth*.

So to your question: By default, you should be able to use user, messages and perms variables in your template. For example:

User: {{user.username}}
{% if perms.appname.permname %}
  ... do something usefull ...
{% endif %}

回答2:

Context processors.
