Passing context between templatetags, django

Question

Hi overflowers,

I am using django to create a web-application.

I have created a template in where I load a templatetag. In this templatetag i load another templatetag. From the template I pass context to the first templatetag, but the context is not available from the second templatetag (inside the first templatetag) - see below.

I hope this makes sense, and that one of you have the answer.

Thanks in advance

Regards

some_other_tag Templatetag: In this templatetag i am trying to access context to get user info i.e. using

request = context['request']
request.user

Don't forget that the context to the subtemplate - and hence to the second template tag - is whatever is returned from the first template tag function. So you'll need to ensure that the request object is included in the dictionary you return there.
