New Odd Error: Caught VariableDoesNotExist while rendering: Failed lookup for key [request] in u'[{},

[Dave Merwin]

Anyone have any ideas what this is about? I get the error below
anyotme I try to call {% feincms_render_region feincms_page "sidebar"
request %} in a template. Or some version of that. I'm running Django
1.2.1. This is a new error. since I have installed 1.2.1.

I can't make much sense from the error message, but it seems that for
some reason the request isn't available in the template. Did you use
RequestContext and do you have django.core.context_processors.request
in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS? Not all content types need the
request, but f.e. the ContactFormContent and ApplicationContent won't
work without it.

You were right, that was it.

Something to note. In Djaango 1.2.1, when I ran

$ django-admin.py startproject test2

The TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS was not installed. Therefore, django.core.context_processors.request was not added. I wasn't using the contact form or the ApplicationContent. Just Pages and Blog. And they were breaking.

Hope that helps someone else. Thanks Matthias.

Just a little bit of clarification:

If you use the feincms rendering tags, you need the request of course,
because you are passing it to the template tag. The content types
themselves do nothing with it, they just ignore the additional
arguments.

Btw, if you aren't using frontend editing or content types requiring a
request, you could replace

{% feincms_render_region feincms_page "main" request %}

with

{% for content in feincms_page.content.main %}{{ content.render }}{% endfor %}

If you use {{ content.render }}, you cannot pass a request and that's
(nearly) the only reason for the feincms_render_* template tags to
exist.
