The example you have given is wrong because
- there is no request.update function
- You are using
name
variable which you haven’t assigned anywhere?
Anyway, in python you can simply assign attributes, e.g.
def update_name(request):
names = Employee.objects.filter()
if(names.count() > 0):
request.names = names
return render_to_response('chatlist/newchat.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request,{'form': form,'msg' : msg}))
Also you don’t even need to assign to request, why can’t you just pass it to template e.g.
def update_name(request):
names = Employee.objects.filter()
return render_to_response('chatlist/newchat.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request,{'form': form,'msg' : msg, 'names': names}))
And in the template page you can access request.name, though if you are doing this just to have a variable available in template page, it is not the best way, you can pass context dict to a template page.
Edit: Also note that before using request in template you need to pass it somehow, it is not available by default see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#subclassing-context-requestcontext

Working Code !!
Assume a variable named my_name. I will add this to get and post requests.
my_name = "Nidhi"
To add variable in Get request
_mutable = request.GET._mutable
request.GET._mutable = True
request.GET['my_name'] = my_name
To add variable in POST request
_mutable = request.POST._mutable
request.POST._mutable = True
request.POST['my_name'] = my_name
Now here in request there is a variable added name my_name.
To get its value use below code –
request.GET.get("my_name") # get request variable value in GET request
request.GET.get("my_name") # get request variable value in POST request
Output : Nidhi
