I am trying to create a custom context processor which will render a list of menu items for a logged in user. I have done the following:-
Within my settings.py I have
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR = ( 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'mysite.accounts.context_processors.user_menu', )
Under the accounts submodule I have *context_processors.py* with the following, for now:-
def user_menu(request): return {'user_menu':'Hello World'}
On my template page I have the following:-
{% if user.is_authenticated %} Menu {{user_menu}} {% endif %}
The invoking view is as follows:
def profile(request): return render_to_response('accounts/profile.html',context_instance=RequestContext(request))
However I am unable to get the {{user_menu}} to render anything on the page, I know the user is authenticated as other sections of the template with similar checks render correctly. Am I missing something here. Please help Thank you
Edit: Thanks Ben, Daniel, I have fixed the (S) in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR, however Django now has trouble resolving the module and I get the following message
Error importing request processor module django.contrib.auth.context_processors: "No module named context_processors"
UPDATE: I fixed it by changing the path to django.core.context_processors.auth Seems like the modules have been moved around
