Hello, Does anyone know how to rewrite this two contoller line? After model and view, I am trying to get familiar with controller and I am finding when a code is summarized, its hard to understand at times. Wondering if someone can break it down for me a little?
first def: (1) categories = db(db.category).select(orderby=db.category.name) why two dbs? can we rewrite this without the select? Is select is a web2py key word? I come from a MATLAB world where we define the structure first and then use. I don't recall I defined select to be a struct. (2) similarly on my second def: category = db.category(request.args(0)) Now, I only see one db instead of two. Why? I understand the request args means where I click. Which argument is it. also this line, news = db(db.news.category == category.id).select(orderby=db.news.vote) Its hard to understand when lot of arguments are combined into one. Anyone can help break it down for me a little? Any idea about how to rewrite that, may be even using "if"statement without structure if possible? -- 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.
