HttpResponseRedirect and user message

[xpanta]

Hi,

I am new to django, and I have this simple task i need to accomplish.

in views.py there is a function that processes an html form (with POST
action). This function returns an HttpResponseRedirect object. This
object gets as parameters the redirect action, like this: return
HttpResponseRedirect('/city/%s/%s/' % (username,city))

Is there any way to add some extra fields, like a message to display
to the user? (i.e. "Settings have been saved, successfully!")

hope this makes sense,
Chris

i would use reverse and redirect to a "success" page

def my_view(request):
#do stufff
#save info in session
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('success_url'))

def my_success_view(request):
#access the session and get the data
return render_to_response('success.html', locals())

Thank you. One more thing: how to save info in the session?
