def create_stock_task(): form = SQLFORM (db.stock_task).process() if form.accepted: task = db(db.stock_task.id).select().last() pdays_row = db(db.product.withholding_period>0).select().last() pdays = pdays_row.withholding_period esidays_row = db(db.product.ESI_withholding>0).select().last() esidays = esidays_row.ESI_withholding wdate_row = db(db.stock_task.completed_date>0).select().last() wdate = wdate_row.completed_date fdate = wdate + datetime.timedelta(days + pdays) esidate = wdate + datetime.timedelta(days + esidays) db(db.stock_task.id == task).update(withhold_until_date=fdate) db(db.stock_task.id == task).update(ESI_withhold_until_date=esidate) On Wednesday, 28 October 2015 18:00:05 UTC+11, Anthony Smith wrote: > > added the following > > def create_stock_task(): > form = SQLFORM (db.stock_task).process() > if form.accepted: > task = db(db.stock_task.id).select().first() > pdays_row = db(db.product.withholding_period>0).select().first() > pdays = pdays_row.withholding_period > wdate_row = db(db.stock_task.completed_date>0).select().first() > wdate = wdate_row.completed_date > fdate = wdate + datetime.timedelta(days + pdays) > ndate_row = > db(db.stock_task.withhold_until_date>0).select().first() > ndate = ndate_row.withhold_until_date > db(db.stock_task.id == task).update(ndate=fdate) > session.flash="New Task Added" > redirect(URL('stock_tasks')) > return locals() > > > and now getting <type 'exceptions.KeyError'>('ndate') > > further would be great > > thanks. > > On Monday, 26 October 2015 20:09:15 UTC+11, Niphlod wrote: >> >> an update operation NEEDS an update() call. >> >> given the records you want to update are defined by a condition, namely >> >> db.table.column_1 == somevalue >> >> and the update on column_2 resulting in all those records equal to >> "somevalue_2", you need to write >> >> db(db.table.column_1 == somevalue).update(column_2 = somevalue_2) >> >> >> >> On Saturday, October 24, 2015 at 7:27:20 AM UTC+2, Anthony Smith wrote: >>> >>> what I want to is update the stock_task.withhold until date with the >>> result of db.product.withholding_ >>> period (int) + stock_task.completed date (date) >>> >>> -- 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.
