[patch] Error handlers lack context.

[wojtek@…]

Which isn't nice because often one sets various extra_context variables for the views in the middleware. And the 404 view could be using a template which requires some variables from the context (for example name of the currently logged in user).

So it would be nice if page_not_found in django/views/defaults would pass the extra_context variables when rendering the 404.html template.

Where would page_not_found get the extra_content? I'm not sure this is possible...

Marking as invalid (see my previous comment).

Yep it's possible, you just need to change the context of the view to a RequestContext. Here's a patch, or you can write your own custom view.

Allows error handlers to benefit from context processors
