Tried to create a custom formstyle by copying existing one from sqlhtml.py
(formstyle_table3cols) to my_formstyle in my controller
and set the grid formstyle=my_formstyle
but got an error :
<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> formstyle not found
I can see that there is a formstyles Storage in sqlhtml.py so itryed to
add
formstyles['my_formstyle']='my_formstyle'
just before the call to grid = SQLFORM.smartgrid()
but got:
<type 'exceptions.NameError'> global name 'formstyles' is not defined
Can you please point me to simple example of how to add a custom forstyle ?
Thanks in advance
