extra_content not being displayed in 4.3 video

[tsmurer]

This issue refers to the third video (Introduction to Django class-based views) in the fourth section (Building Dynamic Webpages), at 2:39.
Please notice that the 'extra_content' data is not displayed at the welcome.html template and you do not address the issue at all.
Said issue is fixed and in the fourth video of the same section, at 1:29, the 'extra_content' data is correctly displayed.
You do not mention at any moment what was the problem or how did you resolve it.

With reference to: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/class-based-views/mixins-simple/#django.views.generic.base.ContextMixin.get_context_data

Instead of adding
extra_content = {'today': datetime.today()}
in your HomeView class

Put
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context['today'] = datetime.today() return context
instead.
