Re: Process multiple html forms in the same view

[Bastien]

Thank you Karen, that's exactly what I need "To give each Form its own
namespace".

I think you want to specify a prefix for your individual forms:

Process multiple html forms in the same view

[Bastien]

I have a classic user profile page where the user fills a form with
various field about her profile (name, address, about me...). On the
same page I have another form that is very similar to a blog post
entry (title, body...) that represents a message that the user can
optionaly fill if she wants to. I can only have one submit button for
the whole page and thus the 2 forms. They both submit the POST data to
the same URL (user_ profile) and in the view I process both forms.
Everything runs quite smoothly since the validation process
automatically uses the POST data that it needs and leaves the rest
(ie: validating user profile only uses the form values like name,
address, about me... and leaves things like title, body... for later
use). But my problem is that I have a few form fields in common in
both forms: zone (which is a list of geographical zones relevant to
the website), theme (another list) and the tags field. The view in its
current form is unabled to tell apart which one is from which form,
ie: it receives tags from both the user profile and the user optional
message and can't tell them apart. So my question is how could the
view know which POST data belongs to which form or how can I change
the form fields name like the profile tags and post tags would become
tags_profile and tags_post respectively?
