python - Getting Previous URL in Django Form -

so i'm trying build something, users able report on site. here's model,

class report(models.model):     reporting_url = models.urlfield()     message = models.textfield() 

here's view,

def report(request): url_report = ??? if request.method == 'post':     form = reportform(request.post or none)     if form.is_valid():         new_form = form.save(commit=false)         new_form.reporting_url = url_report         new_form.save() 

i can't use like,

url_report = request.get_full_path() 

since need create/edit several views & repeat things in case.

when i'm using like,

url_report = request.meta.get('http_referer') 

it's returning url of same page written. i'm using like,

<a href="{% url 'contact:report' %}">report</a> 

to reach report form several different apps/html_pages. how can url of previous page user has pressed "report" button?

please me code!

you store referer in session whenever report button pressed:

def report(request):     if request.method == 'get':         request.session['report_url'] = request.meta.get('http_referer')         # ...     if request.method == 'post':         form = reportform(request.post or none)         if form.is_valid():             new_form = form.save(commit=false)             new_form.reporting_url = request.session.get('report_url')             new_form.save() 

you have persist referer beyond 1 request-response cycle. session designated way that. option render url hidden form field, can tampered with.
