I am using the Scheduler to perform some control functions and so have an autonomous function, called by the Scheduler via 'poll.py', in a module called 'utilities.py'. This scans some databases to decide what to do, and this seems to work fine (I have (hopefully) coded around any potential database conflicts).
However, I want to report a value back from my function to display in a View. How should I do this? Ideally I would like to update a database record from my module function which I can interrogate and modify from the view, but nothing I have tried so far seems to find its way back. I use db=current.db in the function, but although this allow the function to get parameters from the database, anything I write back does not modify the actual database available to the View, or in 'Database Administration'. I have also tried using a session variable but that also appears as 'None' when I read it in the view. The function is not called from anywhere so there is no obvious way of using a return value. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
