Re: How to choose one row of data

Why wouldn't you fetch the latest (completed) order by that particular user from the db? No id passing around, and it should give you only one result. If you pass an id, and don't use the session, make sure the order belongs to the user, otherwise users could see other users orders based on id

Re: How to choose one row of data

Thanks for the response Shawn. I have done what you suggested, assigning a variable named order_info and can use it if I use render_to_response in my order view. But I want to use HttpResponseRedirect after the form is saved. I'm thinking I need to get the order_info variable into my
