Django | How to pass form values to a redirected page

Question

Here's my function:

def check_form(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UsersForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            cd = form.cleaned_data
            try:
                newUser = form.save()
                return HttpResponseRedirect('/testproject/summery/)
            except Exception, ex:
                # sys.stderr.write('Value error: %s\n' % str(ex)
                return HttpResponse("Error %s" % str(ex))
        else:
            return render_to_response('index.html', {'form': form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
    else:
        form = CiviguardUsersForm()
    return render_to_response('index.html',context_instance=RequestContext(request))

I want to pass each and every field in to a page call summery and display all the fields when user submits the form, so then users can view it before confirming the registration.

Thanks..

You may want to use the sessions, as described in http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/sessions/ ?

Is there any other way of doing this without using sessions ? – Switch May 17 '10 at 14:12

You could take a look at the Form Wizard which is included in the formtools contrib app. It's handy for creating multi-page forms, while keeping all of the data around.

You could build a dictionnary, with all your form fields, and use "render_to_response" :

newUser = form.save()
data = {}
for field in dir(newUser):
    if isinstance(getattr(newUser, field), Field):
        data[field] = getattr(newUser, field)
return render_to_response('summary.html', data, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

and use the variables in your template ?

But in this case the browser wouldn't show "/testproject/summary/" in its address line. – MartinStettner Sep 04 '10 at 20:22
