Django: Can class-based views accept two forms at a time?

by

Here’s a scaleable solution. My starting point was this gist,

https://gist.github.com/michelts/1029336

i’ve enhanced that solution so that multiple forms can be displayed, but either all or an individual can be submitted

https://gist.github.com/jamesbrobb/748c47f46b9bd224b07f

and this is an example usage

class SignupLoginView(MultiFormsView):
    template_name="public/my_login_signup_template.html"
    form_classes = {'login': LoginForm,
                    'signup': SignupForm}
    success_url="my/success/url"

    def get_login_initial(self):
        return {'email':'[email protected]'}

    def get_signup_initial(self):
        return {'email':'[email protected]'}

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(SignupLoginView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context.update({"some_context_value": 'blah blah blah',
                        "some_other_context_value": 'blah'})
        return context

    def login_form_valid(self, form):
        return form.login(self.request, redirect_url=self.get_success_url())

    def signup_form_valid(self, form):
        user = form.save(self.request)
        return form.signup(self.request, user, self.get_success_url())

and the template looks like this

<form class="login" method="POST" action="{% url 'my_view' %}">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ forms.login.as_p }}

    <button name="action" value="login" type="submit">Sign in</button>
</form>

<form class="signup" method="POST" action="{% url 'my_view' %}">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ forms.signup.as_p }}

    <button name="action" value="signup" type="submit">Sign up</button>
</form>

An important thing to note on the template are the submit buttons. They have to have their ‘name’ attribute set to ‘action’ and their ‘value’ attribute must match the name given to the form in the ‘form_classes’ dict. This is used to determine which individual form has been submitted.
