That is exactly what I want to do, I can't seem to understand exactly
how to implement that and have it populate in the template. Do I just
define the variable in the views and then in the template use
{{ variable_name }} where I need it? Because I tried that first and it
didn't work. So, maybe I'm just not sure what it is I'm doing
exactly ;)
Thanks for any help!
