Hay, I have come to a point where i need to pass certain variables to all my views (mostly custom authentication type variables).

I was told writing my own context processor was the best way to do this, but i am having some issues.

My settings file looks like this

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
    "django.core.context_processors.debug",
    "django.core.context_processors.i18n",
    "django.core.context_processors.media",
    "django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages",
    "sandbox.context_processors.say_hello", 
)

As you can see i have a module called 'context_processors' and a function within that called 'say_hello'.

This looks like

def say_hello(request):
        return {
            'say_hello':"Hello",
        }

Am i right to assume i can now do this within my views

{{ say_hello }}

because it doesn't return anything.
