Pass variable to template via custom context processor

[michaellin986]

I want to dynamically change the hostname of the link in the email template, so I created a custom template to handle that. I was hoping to pass the hostname to a custom context processor, which would then populate the email template. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work, and my guess is that request is not passed into render_to_string here.

Is there a workaround (aside from creating multiple versions of the templates) or am I missing something?

Unfortunately, we don't have request defined when render_to_string() is called.

You might try modifying your project's views.py file to introduce the hostname.
