Hi there! I'm facing troubles with my application. I need to create a dynamic set of options (SELECT-OPTION) from a database table. When the user push the submit button of a form I need to know what options were selected. I Would like to know this from the controller, not from javascript
Part of code in my controller: # Get the options from a table (field nombre) tipos_de_asunto = db2(db2.tipos_de_asunto).select(orderby=db2.tipos_de_asunto.nombre) tipos_asuntos_list = [] # I use a list to save the options # Looping the resulted set of query for g in tipos_de_asunto: # I Create checkbox tipos_asuntos_list += [INPUT(_type="checkbox", _name="lista_tipos_asunto", _class="checkbox", _value=g.id, )] # I create the text of the checkbox tipos_asuntos_list += [" " + g.nombre] tipos_asuntos_list += [" (" + g.abreviatura + ")"] tipos_asuntos_list += [BR()] # I create the form (update form) form = SQLFORM(db2.auth_user, administrador, submit_button="Aceptar", deletable=True, showid=False, formstyle='divs', _id='form_administrador') # I create an variable that contains form elements and the options of a SELECT (tipos_asuntos_list) checkboxes_tipos_asunto = DIV( DIV( LABEL("Tipos Asunto:", _for="listado_tipos_asuntos_administradores"), _class="w2p_fl" ), DIV( DIV(tipos_asuntos_list, _id="listado_tipos_asuntos_administradores"), _class ="w2p_fw" ), DIV(_class ="w2p_fc") ) # I insert the variable checkboxes_tipos_asunto and the content of list tipos_asuntos_list form[0].insert(6, checkboxes_tipos_asunto) # 6 is because I insert other form elements, not shown in this code if form.validate(): ????? The big question: How I know what options were selected? I had thought in use the form.elements with the name of the options, but I get all the options without knowing what were selected: elementos=form.elements('[name=lista_tipos_asunto]') for e in elementos: print e RESULT OF PRINT: <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="10" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="12" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="9" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="16" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="15" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="17" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="3" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="1" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="4" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="2" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="11" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="6" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="7" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="13" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="14" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="18" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="8" /> <input class="checkbox" name="lista_tipos_asunto" type="checkbox" value="5" /> Any help will be appreciated.
