To answer my Q, used the construct - selectable = lambda ids : verify_stud(ids) , and updated did the update in verify_stud So code looks like this - form = SQLFORM.grid(query=query,create=False,searchable=False, orderby=db.s_user.first_name,csv=False, selectable = lambda ids : verify_user(ids) , details=False,deletable=False,fields=fields,headers=headers,editable=False)
def verify_user(ids): print "Function verify called" if not ids: response.flash='Please Select the Check-box to verify' else: for row in ids: print row db(db.s_user.id == row).update(is_verified=1) pass pass return '' On Tuesday, April 22, 2014 10:28:27 AM UTC+5:30, Jayadevan M wrote: > > I am learning how to use SQLFORM.grid.
