You could add your form to your request context using a context
processor under a key other than 'form' (so it doesn't clash with
forms defined by your other views). This way, your context processor
will make this form available globally. Secondly, instead of posting
this common form to '.', post it to a dedicated view that only knows
how to process this common form.
