I've succeeded in using a custom SQLFORM to restrict how many fields of a
table the user has to fill out, but now I am trying to set a hidden field
value (status) and struggling.
I tried in the model to use:
form = SQLFORM(db.games)
form.vars.status = 'active'
but the field never gets written to the db, I believe because it is not one
of the fields declared in html (below).
I then tried through the html as
{{form.vars.status = 'active'}}
but while it was in the Accepted form.vars, it doesn't show up in
request.vars and again, doesn't get written.
So, okay, let's place it in the html as
{{request.vars.status = 'active'}}
And now it gets into request.vars, but again is not written to the db.
I think I've sunk over my head on this one, and advice correcting my
approach above would be greatly appreciated.
Or was this a bad path to start down and I should just use a separate
operation to write this field to the table after the record is created?
Thanks,
Dave
html if it helps:
{{=form.custom.begin}}
{{form.custom.widget.tm_home["_placeholder"] = "Home Team Name"}}
{{=form.custom.widget.tm_home}}
{{request.vars.status = "active"}} <--- tried variations of this line &
without it
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.custom.end}}
