Using a custom form in your view should not change your controller
any.
Just use the same controller and instead of the view having:
{{=form}}
It should have:
{{=form.custom.begin}}
// your custom stuff including submit button
{{=form.custom.end}}
I've never tried it but setting formname to "None" is probably a bad
idea. That's only used if you have more than one form on a page, but
my suspicion is that setting it to None could be a problem. Either
don't use it or set it to something known. It might not matter, but
why explicitly set it to none? I can't think of a reason to do that.
