Steve,
I eventually ran into the problem of having one controller need to use
the partial for another controller. When this happens, you can move
the partial function into a model file. Then, as partials get more
complex, you can abstract most of them out to a view with
response.render(...). For example, say you have a department manager
page where you can manage many employees:
# in controllers/employees.py
# this lets you view a single employee on an employee page
def show():
...
# grab your employee record from the db
row=db(...).select(...)
if row: row=row[0]
return dict(content=_employee_view(row))
# in controllers/departments.py
# this lets you view many employees on a department page
def show():
...
# grab our employees from the db
employees=db(...).select(...)
return dict(content=_department_view(employees))
# in models/partials.py
# (note how the _department_view partial uses the _employee_view
partial)
def _department_view(records):
content=''
for record in records:
content=content+_employee_view(record).xml()
return XML(response.render('departments/_view.html', content=XML
(content)))
def _employee_view(record):
return XML(response.render('employees/_view.html', record=record))
With this setup it would also be easy to make an entire company page
that lists all departments and corresponding employees.
I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it with web2py or not, but
it's the one I could get to work. I hope it is of help.
Cheers,
Brian
