I seem to be missing something. I have a simple table:
db.define_table("str1", Field('x1', 'string', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), Field('dt', 'datetime')) And a simple controller. def example1(): form = SQLFORM(db.str1) form.vars.dt = request.now form.vars.x1 = 'lasdfjl' form.process() print request.now print form.vars if form.accepted: message=form.vars.x1 response.flash='good job, Dave' elif form.errors: message='you have errors, Dave' else: message="what did you do?" return dict(message=message, form=form) When I get to the print statements, the console shows what I expect (the values I filled out the form with). But the form as rendered does not show anything until I enter something, and if I submit without entering anything, the process() yields form.errors, with "enter a value" under x1, and the print statement shows dt and x1 as None and empty. What am I not doing, such that setting form.vars.x1 and form.vars.dt doesn't get displayed in the form, and they aren't used as values if I don't enter anything? /dps -- 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.
