How can I build multiple submit buttons django form

+1 vote

I have form with one input for email and two submit buttons to subscribe and unsubscribe from newsletter:

<form action="" method="post">
{{ form_newsletter }}
<input type="submit" name="newsletter_sub" value="Subscribe" />
<input type="submit" name="newsletter_unsub" value="Unsubscribe" />
</form>

I have also class form:

class NewsletterForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Newsletter
        fields = ('email',)

I must write my own clean_email method and I need to know by which button was form submited. But the value of submit buttons aren't in self.cleaned_data dictionary. Could I get values of buttons otherwise?

Hiii @kartik,

You can use self.data in the clean_email method to access the POST data before validation. It should contain a key called newsletter_sub or newsletter_unsub depending on which button was pressed.

# in the context of a django.forms form

def clean(self):
    if 'newsletter_sub' in self.data:
        # do subscribe
    elif 'newsletter_unsub' in self.data:
        # do unsubscribe

Hope it work!!
Thank You!
