how to activate DJANGO.CORE.CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.REQUEST

Question

I read this

"DJANGO.CORE.CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.REQUEST If TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS contains this processor, every RequestContext will contain a variable request, which is the current HttpRequest. Note that this processor is not enabled by default; you'll have to activate it. " from this page

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/

But it seems there is no information how to activate this processor.

Here is my original question

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2160261/access-request-in-django-custom-template-tags

After i followed the answer

i still got errors

TemplateSyntaxError at / Caught an exception while rendering: 'request' Original Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\debug.py", line 71, in render_node result = node.render(context) 
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template__init__.py", line 936, in render dict = func(*args)
 File "c:\...\myapp_extras.py", line 7, in login request = context['request'] 
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\django\template\context.py", line 44, in getitem raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'request'

the code causing problem is

request = context['request'] in

from django import template

register = template.Library()


@register.inclusion_tag('userinfo.html',takes_context = True)
def userinfo(context):
 request = context['request']
 address = request.session['address']
 return {'address':address}

Thanks for any help
