Django - Retain Search Parameters between Server Round Trips
I have a list page with some filter, sort and search functionality (which basically creates a QuerySet in the view that then returns the adjusted (filtered, sorted, searched) data). On this list page, I also have a detail view that displays the object details.
This all works fine, but when I navigate to another detail object, the search, filter, sort parameters get reset to their default.
How can I retain the search parameters beyond a server round trip?
Thanks!

You could store the GET parameters as session variables maybe?
To set:
request.session['my_variable'] = request.GET.get('some_get_parameter')
To get:
my_variable_value = request.session.get('my_variable')
Using .get() to retrieve parameters and session variables is a little more robust than just trying to access the dicts directly with request.session['my_variable'] for example, as if my_variable is not in the session, you'll get a key error, but get() returns None if the variable is not found.
