Question

I have index.html, which loads project/p1.html, which loads project/p2.html. project/p1.html and project/p2.html each load fine on their own, so I know they work correctly. The problem is trying to load project/p1.html into index.html, which has the statement:

{% include 'project/p1.html' %}

project/p1.html has the statement:

{% include 'project/p2.html' %}

Loading index.html, I get the error:

VariableDoesNotExist at /
Failed lookup for key [objects] in u"[{'params': {}}, {'csrf_token': <django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x7fd3dc0e2410>}, {'perms': <django.contrib.auth.context_processors.PermWrapper object at 0x7fd3dc0e2210>, 'user': <django.utils.functional.SimpleLazyObject object at 0x7fd3dc10c790>}, {},......

If I delete “{% include ‘project/p2.html’ %}” from project/p1.html, index.html loads fine and the error message dissapears (but obviously I can’t see my content).

How do I resolve this?

EDIT: Heres “project/p2.html”:

<table class="mytable">

{% for object in objects %}
    <tr class="my_row">
      <td>{{ object.name }}</td>
    </tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>

Here’s views.py:

from models import Mytable
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, RequestContext

def my_request(request,
    template="project/p1.html",
    page_template="project/p2.html"):
    context = {
        'objects': Mytable.objects.all().order_by('-date'),
        'page_template': page_template,
    }

    if request.is_ajax():
        template = page_template
    return render_to_response(template, context,
        context_instance=RequestContext(request))

It’s looking for variables that aren’t available to it. Pass in additional context parameters.

{% include "name_snippet.html" with person="Jane" greeting="Hello" %}
