i have not used polymodels so i can't answer the last question.....but about that last one, when you access the GAE datastore viewer (as provided by GAE), what is the name of the table/model that is stored there? does it store location_indoor and location_outdoor, or just location with optional fields? (i'd personally expect the former, but your experience sounds like the latter).
for your other questions see the example under this heading http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07?search=grid#SQLFORM.grid-and-SQLFORM.smartgrid a few paragraphs in it shows a controller that can handle any table. cfh On Thursday, November 29, 2012 6:41:40 AM UTC-8, Gian Luca Decurtins wrote: > > Hi all > > Given the following model (polymodel location -> location_outdoor & > location_indoor) on GAE: > > define_table('location', > Field('name', 'string'), > Field('active', 'boolean'), > polymodel = True) > > define_table('location_outdoor', > db.location, > Field('country', 'string'), > Field('city', 'string'), > Field('postcode', 'string'), > Field('street', 'string'), > Field('building', 'string'), > polymodel = db.location) > > define_table('location_indoor', > db.location > Field('location_outdoor', db.location_outdoor), > Field('floor', 'string'), > Field('room', 'string'), > polymodel = db.location) > > - Is there a way to create a generic controller (using SQLFORM.grid) which > is able to create outdoor or indoor locations (display either > location_outdoor or location_indoor fields)? > I'm thinking of a select field where I can select the class.
