How to create multipage forms with different models

[victor awakan]

I am a building a small project in Django. I am able to create two or more forms in a template but now, I want to split the form to separate templates with each form belong to different models. How can I achieve this? Here is a link to dpaste with the multiple forms in a template I created: http://dpaste.com/1WX0RC8

All help and suggestions will be appreciated.

PS. I have tried it with formtools and it worked. I am trying to learn how to do the same thing with function based views. Thanks

Hi,



What problem you are facing ? A form can be sent to any template using its object and context dictionary. "Split the form to separate templates" ? This seems unusual, create different forms if you want to use more templates. 

Cheers :)

What I meant was I want one form to be saved in one model and the second form to be saved in another model. I did that using form-tools but I want to learn how to do it using function based views. Thanks.

There can be only one view for one page....

You have to implement both in same view

@suraj Could you show by example? I have tried one way which I posted the dpaste link with my first post but it doesn’t work. I.e when I clicked submit I don’t get any new post in the template. Thanks

Each form field has an id to be identified at back end. So just select the relevant field create a model object using the same and save it.

Similarly do for the other.

You can try for once share the code here if you are unsuccessfull, i will help you with the code part then.

Cheers

Thanks Naveen, I have try this code but when I clicked saved, the views redirect but no post was showing in the list view.

def new_rental(request, pk):
    rentalproperty = get_object_or_404(RentalProperty, pk=pk)
    user = UserModel.objects.first()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = NewRentalPropertyForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        #contract_form = NewContractForm(request.POST, prefix = "contracts")
        if form.is_valid():
            print ("all validation passed")
            rentalproperty = form.save()
            #contract_form.cleaned_data["rentalproperty"] = rentalproperty
            #contract.rentalproperty = rentalproperty
            #contract = contract_form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("rental:new_contract"))
        else:
            messages.error(request, "Error")
            
    else: 
        form = NewRentalPropertyForm()
        #contract_form = NewContractForm(prefix = "contracts")
    return render(request, 'rental/new_rental.html', {
        'rentalproperty': rentalproperty,
        'form': form,
        #'contract_form': contract_form,
        })

    
def new_contract(request, pk):
    rentalproperty = get_object_or_404(RentalProperty, pk=pk)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = NewContractForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            contract = form.save(commit=False)
            contract.rentalproperty = rentalproperty
            contract.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("rental:home"))
        else:
            messages.error(request, "Error")
            
    else:
        form = NewContractForm()
    return render(request, 'rental/new_contract.html', {
        'rentalproperty': rentalproperty,
        'form': form,
        })
