Perhaps it is better and simpler to deal with each form at a time, even if it means to have a separate submit button for each one. >> >> > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

This is the raw html form loop (without {{ form }}):
--
Name:
F. Name:
M. Name:
L. Name:
---
If I have 8 people, how should bind POST data to a form object in the
view?
Well, here's my view I just started writing:
---
def index(request, template):
from forms import PersonForm
persons = []
if 'total_transfers' in request.session:
if request.session['total_transfers']:
[persons.append(x) for x in range(1, request.session
['total_transfers']+1)]
personnel_form = []
if len(persons):
if request.method == 'POST':
data = request.POST.copy()
for i in persons.values():
f = PersonForm(data) # how should I bind data to form?
personnel_form.append(f)
...
# to-be done
return direct_to_template(request,
template,
extra_context = {
'persons': persons,
'forms': personnel_forms,
})

Re: newforms + multiple sister forms submitted/processed in one user action
One method is to include a hidden input somewhere that indicates the number of forms present. Then you can just use a for loop from 1 to that number in the view to build the right number of forms again. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

newforms + multiple sister forms submitted/processed in one user action
This is a simplified PersonForm I've created with newforms library: class PersonForm(forms.Form): name = forms.CharField() first_name = forms.CharField() middle_name = forms.CharField(required = False) last_name = forms.CharField() The problem I have is that I need to update the Personnel on the same page. How should I go about writing a template and processing the POST request with newforms if the number of PersonForms can vary in each session and the user should submit all forms in one action? By the way, this form is not going to be tied to any existing model. I need to pass submitted data to another server, but that is not the issue here. I'm wondering how newforms library could help me with this task. Has anyone done this before and has any thoughts and tips? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
