I am trying to use context_processors.py to show the number of unread_messages on my base.html message icon, but for some reason it is not working.
While the unread_message counter is working for the user_messages_view properly, it just won’t work for base.html. I tried changing the logic of my context_processors.py, but same result.
So my models.py:
<code>class Message(models.Model):
sender = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, related_name='sent_messages', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
recipient = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, related_name='received_messages', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
business = models.ForeignKey(Business, related_name='messages', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
content = models.TextField()
timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
is_read = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def __str__(self):
return f'Message from {self.sender} to {self.recipient} in {self.business}'
@property
def sender_is_business(self):
return self.sender.business.exists()
@property
def recipient_is_business(self):
return self.recipient.business.exists()
</code>
<code>class Message(models.Model):
sender = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, related_name='sent_messages', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
recipient = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, related_name='received_messages', on_delete=models.CASCADE)

is_read = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def __str__(self):

@property
def sender_is_business(self):
return self.sender.business.exists()
@property
