Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I use the
notifications app to add some extra info to my html, to alert the user
that there are errors in the form below or to let them know that there
was no error and the form was submitted successfully.
In view.py:
request.notifications.create('Invalid data in form',
'error') # render form again
In your html:
{% if notifications %}
<ul id="notifications">
{% for notification in notifications %}
<li class="{{ notification.type }}">
{{ notification.content }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
If you put this html in your base html (or some html that gets
rendered for every page), then you can just create notifications in
your view.py and they will always get displayed in the next page the
user gets sent to.
To make this work you need (in settings.py):
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'notifications.middleware.NotificationMiddleware',
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
"notifications.context_processors.notifications",
I believe I downloaded this from: http://code.google.com/p/django-notification/
