Answer 3

before 1.8 settings.py

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'other.required.processors.names',
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
)

views.py (using className.as_view)

from django.template import *

class className(TemplateView):
    template_name = "name.html"

views.py (normal use)

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def name(request):
    return render_to_response('name.html'{},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Answer 4

By default Django's template processors are

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
    "django.core.context_processors.debug",
    "django.core.context_processors.i18n",
    "django.core.context_processors.media",
    "django.core.context_processors.static",
    "django.core.context_processors.tz",
    "django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages"
)

( see documentation )

You need django.core.context_processors.request to use request in templates, so add it to that list in settings.py. If you don't have that variable there then set it.
