The order_complete view needs some way of knowing about the object
you've just created. Obviously, it's in the database, so all you need
to give that view is some way to identify it - eg by the id field.
So you'll need to either pass it as a URL parameter to the
order_complete view:
return HttpResponseRedirect('/order_complete/%s/' %
current_order.id)
or put it into the session when you save the form, and get it out
again in the order_complete view. Obviously if there's any personal
info involved, you should not use the first method, or at least add
some extra authentication.
