I have my navbar css in my base.html, and then use {% extend base.html %} to add it into my regular template. However, I want to have a login/register option in my navbar (which is in my base.html), and I want to use cookies to decide whether to put login or register in the navbar. How can I have base.html be able to request cookies, when it doesn't have a view? Also, not every webpage on my site has a view, some are a plain html with {% extend base.html %}. my base.html: <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics --> <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-175481126-1"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'UA-175481126-1'); </script> <style> ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; background-color: #333; } li { float: left; border-right: 1px solid #bbb; } li a { display: block; color: white; text-align: center; padding: 14px 16px; text-decoration: none; } /* Change the link color to #111 (black) on hover */ li a:hover { background-color: #111; color: white; text-decoration:none; } /* for buttons*/ .paging { background-color: #333; border: none; color: white; padding: 8px 14px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; } button:hover { background-color: #111; } .register { float: right; } .paging { background-color: #333; border: none; color: white; padding: 8px 14px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; } button:hover { background-color: #111; } /* title */ .title { color: black; padding: 10px; text-align: center; font-size: 40px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; Color: black; text-decoration: none; } /* descriptions */ .description { color: black; padding: 15px; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; text-align: left; font-size: 13px; } /* embedd url */ .iframe-container{ position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; margin-left: auto; /* Automatic margin from left */ margin-right: auto; /* Automatic margin from right */ } .iframe-container iframe{ position: absolute; top:0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } /* make columns */ * { box-sizing: border-box; } .row { display: flex; flex-direction: row; flex-wrap: wrap; flex: 0 0 100%; max-width: 100%; /* you can just remove these margins all together.
