This is the worst way to pass state. The state should be passed via
the user, rather than storing it in the session. Your view should look
something like this:
def order(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = OrderForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
order = form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('order_complete', args=[order.id]))
else:
form = OrderForm()
return render_to_response('order.html', {'form': form}, articles)
def order_complete(request, order_id=None):
order = get_object_or_404(Order, id=order_id)
return render_to_response('order_complete.html', {'order': order}, articles)
