answering my own question, I mistakenly reversed table names. Here is correct, working version: # Update objectDisplayName in db.SuperObject whenever db.Suggestion.suggestionTitle is updated def update_SuggestionDisplayName(set, ufields): table = 'Suggestion' if ('suggestionTitle' in ufields) else None if table: name_format = '%(suggestionTitle)s' records = set.select() for record in records: displayName = name_format % record ThisSuperObject = db(db.Suggestion.id == record.id).select(db.Suggestion.objectID).first() db(db.SuperObject.id == ThisSuperObject.objectID).update(objectDisplayName=displayName)
db.Suggestion._after_update.append(update_SuggestionDisplayName) -- 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.
