Django upload form with different models - html

Question

I am building my first Django app and I need to have an upload page where I would be able to upload multiple files in different upload forms. I need different forms and, I guess, models since depending on the form the file has to be stored in a respective folder in my media root and go through different further transformations. I also want different users have different levels of access to these uploads.
So far I have something like this (I have quite a bit of additional code inside functions in views.py that send data to data frames or other programs but I am not posting those:
models.py
class Upload(models.Model):
document = models.FileField(storage=OverwriteStorage(),upload_to=get_file_path)
upload_date=models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add =True)
class Upload_variables(models.Model):
variables = models.FileField(storage=OverwriteStorage(),upload_to=get_file_path_var)
upload_date=models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add =True)
forms.py
from django import forms
from uploader.models import Upload, Upload_variables
class UploadForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Upload
fields = ('document',)
class UploadFormVar(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Upload_variables
fields = ('variables',)
views.py
def home(request):
if request.method=="POST":
img = UploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if img.is_valid():
img.save()
else:
img=UploadForm()
files=Upload.objects.all()
return render(request,'home.html',{'form':img})
def variables(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
var = UploadFormVar(request.POST, request.FILES)
if var.is_valid():
var.save()
else:
var = UploadFormVar()
files_st = Upload_variables.objects.all()
return render(request, 'home.html', {'form_b': var})
HTML
<form action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %} {{form}}
<input type="submit" value="Upload" id="submit_form"/>
</form>
<form action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %} {{form_b}}
<input type="submit" value="Upload" id="staging"/>
</form>
So I can see 2 Upload buttons but only one 'choose file'....
Thank you for your help!

Currently you are placing the forms in two separate views. You need to put them in the same view like this:
def home(request):
if request.method=="POST":
var = UploadFormVar(request.POST, request.FILES)
img = UploadForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if img.is_valid():
img.save()
if var.is_valid():
var.save()
else:
img = UploadForm()
var = UploadFormVar()
files=Upload.objects.all()
return render(request,'home.html',{'form': img, 'form_b': var})
