Hi Ken,
see if this is what you want:
1) Make an empty app, edit the model and add at the bottom
db.define_table('contact',db.Field('email',requires=IS_EMAIL()))
db.define_table('news',db.Field('title'),db.Field
('body','text'),db.Field('pub_datetime','datetime'))
import datetime; now=datetime.datetime.today()
for i in range(10): db.news.insert(title='news %i'%i,body='bla
'*100,pub_datetime=now)
2) Make a controller with a single action:
def index():
news=db(db.news.pub_datetime>now-datetime.timedelta(7)).select
(orderby=~db.news.pub_datetime)
form=SQLFORM(db.contact)
if form.accepts(request.vars): response.flash='address stored'
return dict(form=form, news=news)
3) Edit the view index.html and write
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<h1>Add to Contacts</h1>{{=form}}
<h1>Last week news</h1>
{{for item in news:}}<h2>{{=item.title}}</h2><p>{{=item.body}}</p>
{{pass}}
Let us know if you need something different
