Django, global template variables

Question

I have a base template file (base.html) and every other template extends to it and generates content using its blocks. Certain variables, such as nav_obj, are used in the base template file.

View:

nav_obj = NavigationObject.objects.all() 

Base template:

{% for object in nav_obj %} <a href="{{ object.link }}">{{ object.title }}</a> {% endfor %} 

At the moment, I need to pass nav_obj in every view. Is there any way to have this sent automatically?

Answer 1

Write your own context processor.

Answer 2

Inclusion tags might be a good-looking alternative to a context processor.
