How to use two different Django Form at the same template?

Question

My forms.py:

class AlertForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
    model=Alert
    fields = (\'high\',\'medium\', \'user\')
    widgets = {
        \'user\':  forms.         


        

Answer 1

Use the prefix argument so that your field names don't clash.

For example:

alert form = AlertForm(request.POST, prefix='alert') 
notifier_form = NotifierForm(request.POST, prefix='notifier')

You need to use the same prefix in your unbound forms.

extra_context = { 'alert_form': AlertForm(prefix='alert'),  notifier_form': NotifierForm(prefix='notifier') }

The advantage of using prefix is that you don't need to manually rename the fields, as umnik700 suggests in their answer.
