hello one and all,
ok, so I have the basic code:
btn = [INPUT(_type='submit', _name='submit', _value='Add 1-Step')]
btn.append(INPUT(_type='submit', _name='summary', _value='Add 1-Step
then Summary'))
frm = SQLFORM.factory(db.case, db.sheet, buttons=btn)
which is great for merging fields from both tables into one form when
creating brand new records. but can I pass id's to SQLFORM.factory to
signal to it that I want to edit existing records instead of only insert.
something like:
if (request.args(0) is not None):
cid = request.args(0)
else:
cid = None
if (request.args(1) is not None):
sid = request.args(1)
else:
sid = None
frm = SQLFORM.factory(db.case, db.sheet, buttons=btn, db.case.id=cid,
db.sheet.id=sid)
or something to that effect.
so if both cid and sid are None then factory will create both new, as
before. if cid is not None and perhaps sid is also not None, then factory
will automatically fill in the values from those particular records and
leave hidden inputs for the case.id and sheet.id signaling back to
process().accept that the
db.case.update(**db.case._filter_fields(from.vars)) will update the proper
record when it returns from being edited.
or if factory doesn't inherently fill the fields if the record exists, then
we have to do a whole bunch through old-fashioned code?
just looking for advice, thanx in advance, lucas
