This use case keeps on haunting me... :) Sometimes i want to hide columns from a smartgrid but I still want to be able to search for them AND use it within the SQLFORM links parameter, like the 'fingerprint' parameter in the following example:
in model: db.define_table('mytable', Field('name'), Field('score'), Field('fingerprint')) in controller I would have a function with: db.mytable.fingerprint.represent = False # this will hide 'fingerprint' column but will also render it unusable from within links= parameter grid = SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.mytable,links=[lambda row: SPAN( A(callback=URL('update_fingerprint', args=['fixed', *row.fingerprint*])))], # <- row.fingerprint will break fields=[db.mytable.name, db.mytable.score], searchable=[db.mytable.tool_id, db.mytable.name, db.mytable. fingerprint]) Thanks in advance P.S.: I have actually wrote about this before in this group at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/EPO9RychvF4/discussion but I do not like my own solution for obvious reasons. Note that the other reply in that thread does not solve the problem since it does nothing to hide a column. -- 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.
