How does this solve the problem of having two related objects that have the
same attribute name (like "name") on the same html form? As I see it, it
doesn't. There will be a conflict and it will be impossible to keep them
separate.
IOW,
<form ... >
{{ account_form }}
{{ contact_form }}
<input type="submit">
</form>
def update_account_and_contact
if(request.POST)
account_form = AccountForm(request.POST,
instance=get_object_or_404(Account, id=request.POST['id'])
contact_form = ContactForm(request.POST,
instance=get_object_or_404(Contact, id=request.POST['id'])
if(account_form.is_valid() && contact_form.is_valid())
account_form.save()
contact_form.save()
.....
The rails solution is much superior.
