This should be no problem; we do it all the time. Just make sure that you're using different submit methods (actions) for each one.
That seems tricky; I'd had every form using the same submit method and the method was cycling through every form in self._forms to find the successful one that had called it.
So, to do this, I'd need to define a generic method and use setattr to set the name of each copy to the name of the submit button as it's generated?
At first, my servlets were creating extra forms for each form I create in awake() on every refresh of the page. This suggests that the forms themselves were persisting through sleep(), so I added a statement to delete self._forms, but now the form never seems to be successful.
There is a reset forms method that is typically called from sleep() (but can be called by you whenever you like)-- make sure that you haven't accidentally removed it.
I use the FormKitMixIn, and self.resetForms() , but my problem hasn't been the contents being uncleared, but extra forms. That is, if I use f = Form.Form() in awake(), the second load has two forms dumped by for form in self._forms: wr( form.dump() )
and the third time I reload the page, I have three forms on it, etc. I hope that using different submit methods, as mentioned above, fixes this. :)
Look in the examples for the "MultiFormExample.py" and follow that precedent.Is there a right way to handle variable numbers of anonymous forms with FormKit, or should I try to shove all possible objects into one form?
Those are named forms, though. The example didn't seem to apply for a variable number of forms, only a static number.
