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. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
