Sessions living through HttpResponseRedirect

[Joshua K]

Howdy Folks,

How do I get a session to live through a HttpResponseRedirect? For
example:

form = clientFormCreate(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
newClient = form.save()
request.sesson['current_client'] = str(newClient.pk)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/clients/')

I was under the impression that I had to re-create a context from the
modified request object, then render the context - but you can't
render a context with HttpResponseRedirect.

Thanks!
-Josh

Does this not work? It should. What happens when you try?

Sessions have nothing to do with contexts.

Hi Josh,

I think the best is after you create a client,
he should log in.

When the client log in, you can use : request.user
to get user information.

Good luck

Daniel, thanks for the note - I found out that it does work as I
expected.

Bro, thanks for the hint - but in this case a 'client' is not the same
person who is logged in.

Hi Joshua

What was your solution here? It looks like I'm having the same kind of problem like you:
