You could check the "referer" http header on you view, and then do a
redirect.
So, your signup form will always post to say /signup/save, and this
would be a view to handle the request:
def signup(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
forward_url = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', '/') # find
out where the submission came from, else assume the root of your app
do_something() # put your own code here
return HttpResponseRedirect(forward_url) # you should attach
validation error msgs here
return HttpResponseBadRequest()
Check the documentation on forms to see how to pass validation data.
