[Answer]-Django – current/request user is not passed in the template

✅

The problem is that you are not using a RequestContext in the sub-template – and you won’t be able to, because you would need to pass the request into the get_rendered_html method, but you can’t pass parameters into methods from the template.

You should rewrite this as a custom inclusion tag which can automatically take the context and render the template:

@register.inclusion_tag('explore_photo.html', takes_context=True)
def explore(context, obj):
    return {'user': context['user'], 'object': obj.content_object}

and call it in the template:

{% load my_template_tags %}
...
    {% for photo in photos %}
        {% explore photo %}
        <hr>
    {% endfor %}

You need to add 'django.core.context_processors.request', in your settings.py

example

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.core.context_processors.static',
    'django.core.context_processors.tz',
    'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
)
