Sorry for the double-message. Anyways, if you do want to do what that other person recommended, simply find the View that the user is redirected to after logging in. Then, modify the "context data" of that view to dump whatever data to the template. And then do some magic in the template based upon that context data. In short, put this logic in the view the user is sent to after they've logged in.
