If I understand you correctly... I don't think there's anything that automerges your forms. You have to do it by "hand". If two forms need the same logic I put that in it's own function and then call that function from each of the views. function add_links_to_context(context): magical_stuff function links_only_view(request): context = RequestContext() add_links_to_context(context) render_to_response(... function links_n_form(request): context = RequestContext() # action of this form points to handle_form view context["form"] = MyForm() add_links_to_context(context) render_to_response(... function handle_form(request, where_to_redirect_to): form handling logic here HttpRedirect(where_to_redirect_to) -- Norman J.
