How to access RequestContext in class-based generic views?
django, django-class-based-views, django-generic-views, requestcontext
Solution
Do you have `'django.core.context_processors.request'` context processor set up? Almost all CBV use `RequestContext` by default
Problem
I have this path in my urls.py: ``` archive_index_dict = { 'queryset': News.objects.filter(show=True), 'date_field': 'date', 'template_object_name': 'object_list', } ... url(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.date_based.archive_index', archive_index_dict, name='news_archive_index' ), ``` Now I want to detect in template if a page is current (this is for menu styling). Neither `{{ request.path }}` nor `{{ request.get_full_path }}` work in template. What should I use instead? SOLUTION To get `request` available in templates I had to add `django.core.context_processors.request` to `TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS`. This is not set by default (since django 1.3).
