Re: {% csrf_token %} template tag not outputting the hidden field

I had the same problem some day's ago.
Did you add the context_instance parameter in the render_to_reponse function call. It's needed for CSRF to work.

For example: return render_to_response('blog/index.html', {'posts': posts}, context_instance=RequestContext(req))

Jonas.
