My context variables don't show in templates

Hi,

I have a view called home that searches for a user in my UserProfile model and returns the username. I add this

username to the context variable and try to show it in the template. Pretty straightforward and simple, right? 

Well, here is my code first :

def home(request):

    var = ""

    n = None

    if request.method == u'GET':

        GET = request.GET

        if GET.has_key(u'name'):

            n = GET[u'name']

            try:

                user = UserProfile.objects.get(facebookId = n)

                user.is_active = True

                user.last_login = datetime.now()

                var = user.facebookId

                user.save()

                

                print var 

                

                

                #on log out

                if GET.has_key(u'logout'):

                    print 'im logging out!'

                    user = UserProfile.objects.get(facebookId = n)

                    user.is_active = False

                    user.last_login = datetime.now()

                    user.save()

                    

                    

                    

                    

            except:

                user = UserProfile(facebookId=n,playedHours=0, is_active=True)

                user.save()

                

        

    print var          

    context  = {'nom':var}

    return render_to_response('home.html',context,context_instance=RequestContext(request))

    

    

and in my template I have something as simple as :

{{ nom }}

However, when I replace var with a "bla bla bla" for example, it shows on my template, but when I pass a variable name to the 

context, it doesn't show ! I also can see the var value on my console (notice i'm using print twice or thrice in the code)

am I doing anything wrong here?

Thanks !
