Access GLOBAL_CONTEXT from template with shortcode

[chow...@gmail.com]

Hi 

I am trying to put some data in GLOBAL_CONTEXT in conf.py, so I could use them to customize a theme.  

GLOBAL_CONTEXT = {

    "hyde_subtheme": "test",

    "enable_social_icon": True,

    "social_icons": (

        ("email", "/images/envelope1.png", "url1"),

        ("twitter","/images/twitter-black-shape1.png", "url2"),

        ("github", "/images/github-character1.png", "url3"),

    )

}

In base_footer.tmpl, I have this:

{% macro html_footer() %}

    {% if content_footer %}

        <footer id="footer">

            <p class="footer">

              {{ enable_social_icon }}

              {% if enable_social_icon  %}

              <span class="icon_row">

                {% for text, image, url in social_icons %}

                <a href="{{ url }}">

                  <img class="social_icon" src="{{ image }}" title="{{ text }}" width="24" /></a> &middot;

                {% endfor %}

              </span>

              <br/><br/>

              {% endif %}

              <span class="copyright">

              {{ content_footer }}

            </span>

            </p>

            {{ template_hooks['page_footer']() }}

        </footer>

    {% endif %}

{% endmacro %}

However, the template isn't picking up any of the data I included in GLOBAL_CONTEXT.  Am I missing anything?

Thank you,
CHOWY

Right now, we don’t provide any useful context to template shortcodes.
That will be fixed as part of
https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/issues/2424 soon™.
