Django Context Processors Extending your templates
Example
Context processor to determine the template based on group membership(or any query/logic). This allows our public/regular users to get one template and our special group to get a different one.
myapp/context_processors.py
def template_selection(request):
site_template = 'template_public.html'
if request.user.is_authenticated():
if request.user.groups.filter(name="some_group_name").exists():
site_template = 'template_new.html'
return {
'site_template': site_template,
}
Add the context processor to your settings.
In your templates, use the variable defined in the context processor.
{% extends site_template %}
