Hi all, I am at a lose of how to update a table with the row count form another table, I have been able to count and create a new form , which updates the other table . But I am hoping it is possible to be for the update to be automatic when changes are made to the 1st table .
Below is a shorten version of the models and the controllers: model/db1.py db.define_table('stock', Field('product'),, Field('start_count','integer', default=0), Field('count_now')) db.define_table('stock_item', Field('product', 'reference stock'), Field('size'), Field('color'), Field('weight')) controller/ default def stocks(): db.stock.product.represent = lambda product,row:\ A(product,_href=URL('view_stock', args=row.id)) query = (db.stock.created_by.belongs(group_members)) grid = SQLFORM.grid(query, orderby=~db.stock.created_on, create=False,details=False,editable=True, deletable=False, fields =[ db.stock.product, db.stock.start_count, db.stock.count_now, ]) return locals() def stock_items(): db.stock_item.product.represent = lambda product,row:\ A(product,_href=URL('view_stock_item', args=row.id)) query = (db.stock_item.created_by.belongs(group_members)) grid = SQLFORM.grid(query, orderby=~db.stock_item.created_on, create=False,details=False,editable=False, deletable=False, fields =[ db.stock_item.product, db.stock_item.size, db.stock_item.color, db.stock_item.weight, ]) return locals() This is the part I would like to run on update, there is no need for it to output to a form just update the stock table. def stockcount(): query = db(db.stock_item._id>0).select(db.stock_item.product,db.stock_item.product.count(),orderby=db.stock_item.product,groupby=db.stock_item.product) for row in query: db.stock.update_or_insert(db.stock._id == row.stock_item.product, count_now = row[db.stock_item.product.count()]) form =SQLTABLE(query) return dict(form=form) thanks for any help and assistance anthony -- 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.
