Hello, I'm using hashids <http://hashids.org/python/>. I'm generating my own forms, without SQLFORM. My tables have a Field.Virtual('hashid', lambda row: current.hashids.encrypt(row.table.id)).
I'd like to be able to use SQLFORM, so that a field's IS_IN_DB validator would help generate a form where the id is obfuscated using hashids, then automatically decode it before inserting in the database. I've seen that validators.IS_IN_DB excludes FieldVirtual when building "the set". I suppose the first step would be to subclass IS_IN_DB and make it read the FieldVirtual. Or, I could just ignore that and encode the id using hashids, when it's outputted by the options widget. But then I'd have to decode it before it's inserted into the database.. but where ? I'm kind of confused about how to approach this. I'd also like to avoid subclassing web2py functionality if possible, but that's a bonus. Any help would be appreciated. -- 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.
