Hello, My goal is to represent the name instead of the field id here is my model:
db.define_table('vendors', Field('name','string'), Field('vendor_location','string'), format='%(name)s', migrate=True) db.define_table('product', Field('product_code','string'), Field('product_name','string'), Field('product_price','string'), Field('product_owner', 'reference vendors'), Field('description','text'), Field('image','string', label='Image Path'), #Field('product_picture', 'upload', uploadfield='product_picture_file'), #Field('product_picture_file', 'blob'), format=lambda r: '%s' % (r.product_owner.name), migrate=True) The problem is when I try to select the field it only shows me the id and not the name of the referenced record. I've seen a few of Anthony's post, but I can't seem to wrap my head around what's happening. Here you'll see it returns the product_owner as 2L instead of the actual name of the owner. Is my format/representation messed up in my model? In [1]: products = db(db.product.id>0).select()In [2]: products.first()Out[2]: <Row {'product_owner': 2L, 'description': 'This is my product description', 'image': '../static/images/image2.png', 'id': 1L, 'product_price': '13.99', 'product_code': '0001', 'product_name': 'my great product'}> -- 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.
