How to redirect with messages to display them in Django Templates?

request.user.message_set was deprecated in Django 1.2 and has been removed since Django 1.4, the message framework should be used instead.

from django.contrib import messages

# messages.add_message(request, level, message, extra_tags="", fail_silently=False)
messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO, "Your Message")

Alternatively, you can use one of the shortcut functions:

from django.contrib import messages

messages.debug(request, "Your Message")
messages.info(request, "Your Message")
messages.success(request, "Your Message")
messages.warning(request, "Your Message")
messages.error(request, "Your Message")

Messages can then be rendered on the template with:

{% if messages %}
    <ul class="messages">
        {% for message in messages %}
            <li{% if message.tags %} class="{{ message.tags }}"{% endif %}>{{ message }}</li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endif %}
