[web2py] Re: Multiple custom SQLFORMs on a page only able to submit one.
I also checked using chrome developer tools that the div which contains the _formkey and _formname is not getting generated (missing from HTML). May be that is the reason the form is not working. What may be the reason for this ? and what is a feasible solution ?

I tried with form.validate() and also with form.process().accepted. Can you provide some sample code on how do I achieve the above ? I am already providing the name of the form while declaring it. How is it different from web2py generated _formname ? Your original code simply set the name attribute of the HTML form element (i.e., SQLFORM(..., _name=...)). However, that doesn't affect the _formname hidden element. To set that, you have to set the formname argument to the accepts() method (or process() or validate()). Anyway, I'm not sure you need to set your own formname -- web2py will automatically generate a formname based on the db table name and type of form, so two forms on the same page based on different tables will have different names anyway.

Sounds like you're not calling form.accepts (or .process or .validate) when the form is first created before returning it to the view. It might help if you show your current code. Anthony

Thanks Anthony. But as I stated above, the problem is the div element which contains the _formname and _formkey is not getting generated on the page for the image upload form and I think that it might be creating the problem.

What can be the reason for it ? Did you see my other reply? It sounds like you are not calling form.accepts (or .process or .validate) when the form is initially created. It will help if you show your current code. Anthony

In the method which defines the registration form, I return upload_form alongside as : return(reg_form=reg_form,upload_form=upload_form) The problem is that the _formkey and _formname hidden fields are created when you call form.accepts() -- so you have to call form.accepts() both when the form is first created and returned to the view and when the form is submitted. The form object that you are returning to the view does not include those hidden fields, but the form processing code in upload_image() is expecting those fields to be there.
