Can someone advice if this is the optimal solution? I didn't get any feedback yesterday - and must get this working. I've been doing Python a short time, so not always sure the best Pythonic approach...
I built an array of objects like this: class Language(db.Model): #this is never stored in database name = db.StringProperty() imageURL = db.StringProperty() selected = db.BooleanProperty() languages = []; languages.append(Language(name="English",imageURL="http://3wcloud.com/ images/flags/english.jpg",selected=True)); languages.append(Language(name="Spanish",imageURL="http://3wcloud.com/ images/flags/portuguese.jpg",selected=False)) languages.append(Language(name="Portuguese",imageURL="http:// 3wcloud.com/images/flags/portuguese.jpg",selected=False)) languages.append(Language(name="Spanish",imageURL="http://3wcloud.com/ images/flags/mandarin.jpg",selected=False)) I used db.Model just to use the "strong typing" of the fields. Good idea or bad idea??? then I pass the languages array to the template... TEMPLATE: {% for language in languages %} <img src="{{language.imageURL}}"> <span class="wpcf7- form-control-wrap language_sp"><span class="wpcf7-checkbox"><span class="wpcf7-list-item"> <input type="checkbox" name="language" value="{{language.name}}" {% if language.selected %} checked {% endif %} /> <span class="wpcf7-list-item-label">{{language.name}}</span></ span></span></span><br /> {% endfor %} The downside of this technique is that I have moved templates and graphics information from the template to the Python code. In my case, I'm doing both, but in the ideal world we should separate the GUI from the program. Now, if a new language is added, the programmer must change the python code, as opposed to the graphic guy just updating the template.
