Get user information in django templates

by

An alternate method for current Django versions:

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
    <p>Welcome, {{ user.get_username }}. Thanks for logging in.</p>
{% else %}
    <p>Welcome, new user. Please log in.</p>
{% endif %}

Note:

  • Use request.user.get_username() in views & user.get_username in templates. Preferred over referring username attribute directly. Source
  • This template context variable is available if a RequestContext is used.
  • django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth is enabled by default & contains the variable user
  • You do NOT need to enable django.core.context_processors.request template context processor.
