If I add a new template and view to a satchmo install within my project it renders just fine, but it seems to be missing some values like the name of the store and it does not register that I am logged into the site when I am on the new pages. If I check the request.user it appears to be authenticated, but base.html does not render the page correctly. Customizing any existing satchmo page works just fine, but adding a new one results in the page not being fully integrated into the store experience.
