Hi!
I have an issue with UPDATE form. I'm trying to implement something like
enrollment form that has man field beyond standard name, email, etc. For
the sake of usability I've decided to split it to two steps (i.e.
controllers - pages): first asks user for name and email, and after user
submits it, he/she gets redirected to the second controller with UPDATE
form for the same record, inserted with previous form.
Btw, at first I thought of having a one page form and presenting it in
parts with help of JS, but I've decided to go with back end, to have even
partially submitted data in database.
def firstform():
form = SQLFORM(db.person, fields = ['email','name'])
if form.process(session=None, formname='begin_form').accepted:
session.person_id = form.vars.id
session.flash = 'form accepted'
redirect(URL('endjoin'))
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
else:
response.flash = 'please fill the form'
return dict()
# and
def secondform():
record = db.person(session.person_id) or redirect(URL('index'))
form = SQLFORM(db.person, record, fields = ['address','phone',
'many_more_fields'])
if form.process(session=None, formname='end_form').accepted:
response.flash = 'form accepted'
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
else:
response.flash = 'please fill the form'
return dict()
The problems is that second action 'firstform' makes insert, instead of
update to the record inserted by first action 'secondform'. Though 'record'
contains reference to last add row, which should be updated(completed). I'm
not passing form to the view, I use custom html to present my forms,
because I didn't find a way to make helpers specify input type='email',
placeholder, size and other HTML5 form parts attributes.
