Well, I just solved the problem by writing the logic on the view and passing "next" and "previous" variables in the context. However, I still wonder if get_next_in_order and get_previous_in_order (defined in db/models/base.py) are django built-ins for doing this. I tried to use them but I just don't get how they work. But I will let that for further investigation somewhere in the future. Thanks anyway.
