No, you don't need to use the same template. You are just filling in

set it up
2) Write
Oggie,
Thanks for the reply. So you're saying that it would be better to
send my shopping cart data to every template through my all my

If you really need to use a tag, look at

You can create a custom tag, I've never done it myself, but it's in
the docs:

I am sure you can get more help if you need it, but this should get
you started.

I've created a shopping cart. I want to put something on the top of
every page that let's people know how many items they have in their
cart. I have a lot of views that don't send any dictionary key's that
contain shopping cart info. If I want to do this...do I now have to
