I have a special application that holds the results of swimming matches. I store all times as floating-point "seconds" internally, but I want to permit users to enter times as either a formatted string (mm:ss.hh) or an integer (mmsshh).
I created my own custom validator which can take either input and renders the result to the database as a float. It also formats the presentation to show the times as mm:ss.hh as the preferred output format. So far, so good... Now the problem. The underlying field is a 'double' which resolves to a float on Sqllite. The built-in field validator for FLOAT is still active, so it prevents anyone from entering ":" characters. Is there no easy way to completely replace the default field validator? This will limit my use of the custom validation feature, I fear. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
