we are using a context_processor.
e.g., the view for a login-page could look like this:
if everythins is ok:
request.session['messages'] = ['message', 'You are logged in.']
return HttpResponseRedirect(referer)
else:
messages = ['error', 'Some error message.']
and then, you can use a context_processor:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
....
'www.views.context_processors.get_messages',
)
get_messages could look like this (get_messages checks the session
and returns a message-dict):
def get_messages(request):
messages = []
if request.session.get('messages'):
messages = [request.session['messages'][0], request.session
['messages'][1]]
del request.session['messages']
return {
'messages': messages,
}
