Thank you DR. For other newbies out there I changed my views to this
and it worked great:
articles = Context({'articles': Articles.objects.all()})
def order(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = OrderForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
current_order = form.save()
order_info = Context({'order_info': current_order})
request.session['order_info'] = order_info
return HttpResponseRedirect('/order_complete/')
else:
form = OrderForm()
return render_to_response('order.html', {'form': form}, articles)
def order_complete(request):
order_info = request.session['order_info']
return render_to_response('order_complete.html', order_info,
articles)
