Anthony, doesn't there have to be some sort of pointer to the correct reference record in the lookup table?
Here is a real example below (different fields and table than first example). I tried to put "db.Country" in front of the lookup table field names, but the syntax is wrong. Now that you can see the lookup table, could you please write out the complete syntax? in '%(db.Country.countryTelephoneCode)s %(db.Country.countryName)s' db.define_table('Country', ## Lookup table Field('countryName','string'), Field('countryCode','string'), Field('countryTelephoneCode','integer')) ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- db.define_table('PhoneNumber', Field('countryTelephoneCode','reference Country'), Field('telephoneNumber','integer')) ## ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ db.PhoneNumber.countryTelephoneCode.represent = lambda v, r: '%(db.Country.countryTelephoneCode)s %(db.Country.countryName)s' % r Thanks, Alex On Wednesday, April 24, 2013 5:00:00 AM UTC-7, Anthony wrote: > > db.PartyPhoneNumberIntersection.countryTelephoneCode.represent = \ > lambda v, r: '%(countryTelephoneCode)s %(countryName)s' % r > > Anthony > > On Wednesday, April 24, 2013 4:08:25 AM UTC-4, Alex Glaros wrote: >> >> Is there a way to concatenate fields in the represent function in the >> same way that countryTelephoneCode and countryName are in the "requires" >> validator below? >> >> db.PartyPhoneNumberIntersection.countryTelephoneCode.requires = IS_IN_DB( >> db, db.Country.countryTelephoneCode, '%(countryTelephoneCode)s %( >> countryName)s',zero=T('choose one')) >> >> thanks, >> >> Alex Glaros >> > -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
