Answer 2

For CBV:

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect


return HttpResponseRedirect(self.request.path_info)

For function view:

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect


return HttpResponseRedirect(request.path_info)

Answer 3

You can achieve this by redirecting to HTTP_REFERER header and for fallback just add another path.

Example snippet:

return redirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', 'redirect_if_referer_not_found'))

Answer 4

I am guessing you need to provide a kwarg to identify the show when you redirect, although I can't see the code for your DetailView I would assume the kwarg is called either pk or possibly show going from the convention you've used in AddSeason and SubtractSeason. Try:

redirect('show:detail', kwargs={'show': instance.pk})

EDIT: the name of the detail url is 'show-detail', so the scoped viewname would be 'show:show-detail' (if it is in the show namespace like the other urls). I still think it would need a kwarg though, try:

redirect('show:show-detail', kwargs={'show': instance.pk})

Answer 5

to redirect to the same page (e.g. an http GET) after a POST, I like...

return HttpResponseRedirect("")   # from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

it also avoids hardcoding the show:detail route name, and is a lil' clearer intention wise (for me at least!)
