Hi,
The variable you want to use should be in every page's default context.
#views.py
from django.template import RequestContext
def myview(request):
myvar = foo
variables = RequestContext(request, { 'myvar' : myvar })
return render_to_response("template.html", variables)
In variables you will have all the variables from the default contexts plus
the ones you include in the dictionary... the auth context is loaded by
default (if i remember correctly)...
hope it helps,
