I am working on a small intranet site for a small company, where user should be able to post. I have imagined a very simple authentication mechanism where people just enter their email address, and gets sent a unique login url, that sets a cookie that will always identify them for future requests.
In my template setup, I have base.html, and the other pages extend this. I want to show logged in or register button in the base.html, but how can I ensure that the necessary variables are always a part of the context? It seems that each view just sets up the context as they like, and there is no global context population. Is there a way of doing this without including the user in each context creation?
Or will I have to make my own custom shortcuts to setup the context properly?

What does {{ name }} this mean in Django Templates? {{ name }} will be the output. It will be displayed as name in HTML. The name will be replaced with values of Python variable.
A context is a variable name -> variable value mapping that is passed to a template. Context processors let you specify a number of variables that get set in each context automatically – without you having to specify the variables in each render() call.
{% %} and {{ }} are part of Django templating language. They are used to pass the variables from views to template. {% %} is basically used when you have an expression and are called tags while {{ }} is used to simply access the variable.
To comment-out part of a line in a template, use the comment syntax: {# #} . This syntax can only be used for single-line comments (no newlines are permitted between the {# and #} delimiters). If you need to comment out a multiline portion of the template, see the comment tag.
There is no need to write a context processor for the user object if you already have the "django.core.context_processors.auth" in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS and if you're using RequestContext in your views.
if you are using django 1.4 or latest the module has been moved to django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth
