So at the moment, what users are seeing is a controller presenting SQLFORM.grid of dataset records, and then in the 'view' argument to that controller for a particular record, the file field is shown as the output of the represent method of UploadWidget (so the word 'file' wrapped up with the download link, which is ignorant of the subfolder). It isn't obvious to me that there is a way to insert new_ds_id into that mechanism?
The new_ds_id (which is an integer) is stored in the record as datasets.dataset_id, so I've tried setting the uploadfolder in the model after the table definition using this: db.datasets.file.uploadfolder = lambda id, row: os.path.join(request.folder, 'uploads','datasets', str(row.dataset_id)) But that breaks - I get an error message: <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> 'function' object has no attribute 'endswith'. I think that is field.retrieve firmly expecting a string and trying to find the end character of the lambda function. So, if that isn't possible, then I need a custom view of the record, which represents the file with a custom download function that I can pass new_ds_id to?
