Anthony has created a working example. That and his analysis is listed
below:
Massimo's solution will work if the query involves only the TaxonomyDetail
table, but your grid involves a join, so it is necessary to include the
tablename (i.e., record.TaxonomyDetail.objectID). But then that will fail
if you do show a grid with only the TaxonomyDetail table. In any case, it
is not necessary to bother with record.objectID, because that is simply the
value of the current field, so you can use the first argument passed to the
lambda (i.e., "id").
But there are two other problems with the above -- the link will show only
the ID, not the objectDisplayName; and the URL() function is incorrect.
Here's what you want:
db.TaxonomyDetail.objectID.represent = lambda id, r:
A(db.ObjectSuperType(id).objectDisplayName,
_href=URL('manage_object_super_type', vars=dict(filter=id)))
Notice in the URL, I put the record id in a query string variable (which I
called "filter", though any name will do). That is because passing URL args
to the grid can get tricky -- you have to tell the grid which args in the
URL are part of the base URL (so it can figure out which ones are for the
grid). However, that means you must always know which args are part of the
base URL. But if in some cases you add an arg and some cases you do not,
then it is difficult to distinguish between those cases. My solution is to
use a var instead of an arg so there is no confusion. Here is what the
manage_object_super_type() function should look like:
def manage_object_super_type():
constraints = None
if request.vars.filter:
constraints =
dict(ObjectSuperType=db.ObjectSuperType.id<http://db.objectsupertype.id/> ==
int(request.vars.filter))
grid = SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.ObjectSuperType, constraints=constraints),
return dict(grid=grid)
