pass context to overridden templates

[cjdcordeiro]

Hi guys,

I'm using django-notification-hq, so my app's urls.py has:

...

   url(r'^inbox/', include(notifications.urls, namespace='notifications')),

...

I've modified those default templates but I am unable to pass context to them. 

I found this: https://github.com/django-crispy-forms/django-crispy-forms/issues/646

It isn't old so I'm afraid this is yet not possible? Any workarounds?

Cheers,

Cris

Probably the best would be overriding the app's default class based view, but when I look at it (https://github.com/django-notifications/django-notifications/blob/master/notifications/views.py#L29) it doesn't have a get_context method or anything I can play with to change the default context....

ideas? anyone?

As NotificationViewList is a ListView it should have get_context_data
see:
