Django: accessing session variables from within a template?

Question

If I set a session variable in Django, like:

request.session[\"name\"] = \"name\"

Is there a way I can access it from within a template, o

Answer 1

In your settins.py

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
)

Your view, maybe look like this.

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, render
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.template import RequestContext

@login_required()
def index_admin(request):
    return render_to_response('carteras/index_admin.html', {}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
