Accessing global variable in view using context processor in Django

Question

Assuming I have a context processor:

def title(request):
   return {\'titles\': \'mytitle\'}

I can access this variable in template as

Answer 1

Add your context processor method path (folder.context_processor.application_context) to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.

in my case application_context is the method which i defined inside file context_processor.py and method "application_context" returns {'titles': 'mytitle'}

if you want to use "title" as global variable in views use it in this way

global_var = RequestContext(request).get("app_config")
titles = global_var.get("titles")
print titles 

The only advantage is "Same variable 'titles' will be visible for templates and also in your views"
