Keep in mind there is nothing keeping one view from calling another.
def button1view(request):
stuff
def view1(request):
if request.POST and request.POST.has_key('button1'):
return button1view(request)
More often I find myself doing helper functions to keep the logic
straight.
def button1_helper():
return {'button1': True}
def view1(request):
context_dict={}
if request.POST:
if request.POST.has_key('button1'):
context_dict.update(button1_helper)
...

thanks doug, this is what I did, but I am not comfortable with it.
those two button do different things, and if they're under one method
on the views it could be ugly, what if I have 4 or 5 submit buttons?
any other sugguestions?
thanks

Re: how to handle forms with more than submit button
As far as I know a form submits to a single url via the action=?
specifier. That's just the way an html form works. Each submit
button that is part of the form is going to post to the action url in
the form. You can override with javascript, but that doesn't make
much sense unless you're doing ajax or something.
You CAN check to see which submit button was used in the view, and
make logic decisions accordingly. Just make sure you name your submit
buttons and check which is in request.POST and make logic decisions
from there.
in template
then in view
if request.POST:
if request.POST.has_key('button1'):
do button 1 stuff
elif request.POST.has_key('button2'):
do button 2 stuff

Re: how to handle forms with more than submit button
create different URLs (and thus different views) for the different buttons and then redirect to wherever you want to go.

how to handle forms with more than submit button
Hi, How do I handle this situation wherein I want different submit button to call different method on the views. I feel that calling the same method on views for all the submit button on a form is not good, as you'll make the distinction of what to do inside the method...
