Store messages after showing in the template

Question

I would like to store the last messages to get a chance for the user to check it again.

How can I save it, after show? before show? Do I need to implement a db model?

Answer 1

I found a nice solution, without using external library. Just with my lovely python!

First I create a function to store the messages into a database:

def save_messages(message):
    db.objects.add(ManyToMany.object.create(message))
    return redirect('message_saved')

and then I put the function to run anytime a message is being sent into contrib messages itself

MYPROJECT\venv\Lib\site-packages\django\contrib\messages\api.py

def add_message(request, level, message, extra_tags='', fail_silently=False):
"""
Attempt to add a message to the request using the 'messages' app.
"""
try:
    messages = request._messages
except AttributeError:
    if not hasattr(request, 'META'):
        raise TypeError(
            "add_message() argument must be an HttpRequest object, not "
            "'%s'." % request.__class__.__name__
        )
    if not fail_silently:
        raise MessageFailure(
            'You cannot add messages without installing '
            'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware'
        )
else:
    from WALLAWALLA import save_messages
    save_messages(message) 
    return messages.add(level, message, extra_tags)

and this really works great
