Want to change template based on full_name(request.user.username)

[sarfaraz ahmed]

Hello All,

I am facing an issue in my first django project. I am newbie. So, please help me in detail. I don't want to use {{full_name}} in all the views. I saw few post which says {{user.is_authenticated}} can be used. I tried but it was not working. Passing {'full_name':request.user.username} to each is very hectic. Also, not sure to this in one of my view where i am using password_change. View is mentioned below where i am not able pass full_name.

This is mentioned below is my navigation.html

<nav class="navbar navbar-default">

  <div class="container-fluid">

    <!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->

    <div class="navbar-header">

      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false">

        <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>

        <span class="icon-bar"></span>

        <span class="icon-bar"></span>

        <span class="icon-bar"></span>

      </button>

      <!--<a class="navbar-brand" href="/" >Arham Collections</a>-->

    </div>

    <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->

    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">

      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">

        <li class="active"><a href="/">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a></li>

        <li><a href="#">Sale <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a></li>

        <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>

      

      </ul>

<!--      <form class="navbar-form navbar-left" role="search">

        <div class="form-group">

          <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">

        </div>

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>

      </form>-->

      <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">

        {%if full_name %}

        

        <li class="dropdown">

            

          <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">{{full_name}}<span class="caret"></span></a>

          <ul class="dropdown-menu">

            <li><a href="/useraccount/edit_user">My Account</a></li>

            <li><a href="#">Orders</a></li>

            <li><a href="/useraccount/edit_user">Profile</a></li>

            <li><a href="/useraccount/change-password">Change Password</a></li>

            <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>

            <li><a href="/useraccount/logout">Logout</a></li>

          </ul>

        </li>

        {% else %}

        <li><a href="/useraccount/register">Register</a></li>

        <li><a href="/useraccount/login">Login</a></li>

        {% endif %}

      </ul>

    </div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->

  </div><!-- /.container-fluid -->

</nav>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@login_required

def my_change_password_view(request,template_name='useraccount/password_change_form.html'):

    return password_change(request,template_name)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please help.

{{user}} is implicitly sent in the request, so it might be worth trying to sort out what specifically went wrong when you say {{user.is_authenticated}} went wrong.

Here's a fully functioning example of some things you can do with the user object:

{% block header %}

    <header id="navbar" class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">

        <div class="navbar-header">

            <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Home</a>

        </div>

        {% if user.is_authenticated %}

            <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">

                <ul class="nav navbar-nav">

                    <li><a href="#">Projects</a></li>

                    <li><a href="#">Reports</a></li>

                    {% if user.is_staff %}

                        <li><a href="#">Usage</a></li>

                    {% endif %}

                </ul>

                <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">

                    {% if user.is_superuser %}

                        <li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>

                    {% endif %}

                    <li class="dropdown">

                        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">

                            {% if user.first_name %}

                                Welcome, {{ user.first_name }}

                            {% else %}

                                Welcome, {{ user.username }}

                            {% endif %}

                        </a>

                        <ul class="dropdown-menu navbar-dropdown-menu">

                            <li><a href="#">Sign Out</a></li>

                        </ul>

                    </li>

                </ul>

            </div>

        {% endif %}

    </header>

{% endblock %}
