Re: Django 1.4 - how to display a success message on form save

But the message gets displayed only after I reload the page, the page isn't updated.

Using the messaging framework is actually very simple.

You need to enable the messaging framework (see the steps here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/messages/ )

In your template, you need this (I have that in my base template so
it's included in all pages):

          {% if messages %}
            {% for message in messages %}
              {{ message }}
            {% endfor %}
          {% endif %}

Obviously, you'll need some formatting/CSS around it.

And in your views.py (or forms.py, ...)

from django.contrib import messages

   if form.is_valid():
     messages.success(request, 'Your form was saved')

And that's it!
