Invalid template name in ‘extends’ tag: ”. Got this from the ‘template’ variable.

When writing a django-application that should be hooked into a django-cms page you might stumble upon this error message:

TemplateSyntaxError at /bewerben/ Invalid template name in 'extends' tag: ''. Got this from the 'template' variable.

In order to fix this you need to pass your context to the template in your view-method:

return render_to_response(
        'yourtemplate.html',
        {'form': form,},
        context_instance=RequestContext(request),
    )
