    <p>OK, the the problem, I think, is you're expecting "magic".</p> <p>Django's views are templates are pretty dumb. They only have the variables available to them that are passed in one of two ways:</p> <ol> <li>Through a context_processor (see Aidan's answer)</li> <li>Passed in when calling render (or render_to_response)</li> </ol> <p>The reason the form renders when you visit <code>/login</code>, but in no other case, is because the Django view you're using <code>django.contrib.auth.views.login</code>, passed the Django AuthenticationForm into your template for you.</p> <p>Review the source here: <a href="https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/views.py" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/views.py</a></p> <p>No other view "magically" gets that variable set.</p> <p>So you have to either:</p> <ol> <li>Set it yourself in every view across your whole app</li> <li>Use a context processor.</li> </ol> <p>Here's an easy <code>context_processors.py</code> which uses the Django stuff (based on Aidan's):</p> <pre><code>def include_login_form(request): from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm form = AuthenticationForm() return {'login_form': form} </code></pre> <p>Then, do as Aidan points out:</p> <pre><code>TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( #.... 'yourapp.context_processors.include_login_form' ) </code></pre> <p>Now, the problem is that, when you just include the template, the login form is in a variable called "login_form", but when django's built-in view uses your template, it's in a variable called "form".</p> <p>So that's an ordeal without a good "clean" solution, though I'm sure one could sort it out.</p> <p>Maybe check the context passed in in your context_processor, and if a variable already exists called "form", see if it's an instance of AuthenticationForm, and if it is, use it instead.</p>

    3. COContext processors just add their variables to every single view (so long as said view uses RequestContext). So you'd just update your existing template, replacing "form", with "login_form" (though it'll break if you try to use with the contrib view as I mentioned)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
