The controller code isn't too complicated, aside from the order-by problems, but I get lost in the html file. SQLFORM will tell you the id of the record inserted <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#SQLFORM-and-insert-update-delete> and that id can be stored in a session variable your view_searches()function can use. But I would consider making the SQLFORM the primary page content in a conventional web2py view, and using the LOAD() helper function to update the view area. <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/12/components-and-plugins#LOAD> /dps > @mobilize > @auth.requires_login() > def view_searches(): > if db(db.post).isempty(): > """If the db is completely deleted then we get an error as the > iteration is over an empty table.""" > db.post.insert(message="Well_hest")# well_hest is an internal > keyword/trigger word > dt=request.now > row = db(db.post.author== auth.user.id).select(db.post.ALL, > orderby=~db.post.created_on, limitby=(0,1)).first() > reports = row.message if row else None > return dict(reports=reports) > @mobilize > @auth.requires_login() > def search(): > form = SQLFORM(db.post).process() > if form.accepts(request, formname=None): > return DIV("Message posted") > elif form.errors: > return TABLE(*[TR(k, v) for k, v in form.errors.items()]) > return dict() > > This is the html view: > {{extend "layout.html"}} > <!DOCTYPE html> > <html lang="en"> > <head> > <title>convForm - example</title> > <meta charset="UTF-8"> > <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, > maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1"> > <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto"; > rel="stylesheet"> > <link href="{{=URL('static', 'css/jquery.convform.css')}}" > rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> > <link rel="stylesheet" href=" > https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css"; > integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" > > crossorigin="anonymous"> > <link href="{{=URL('static', 'css/demo.css')}}" rel="stylesheet" > type="text/css" /> > </head> > <body> > <section id="demo"> > <div id="target"></div> > <div class="vertical-align"> > <div class="container"> > <div class="row"> > <div class="col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 col-xs-offset-0"> > <div class="card no-border"> > <div id="chat" class="conv-form-wrapper"> > <form action="#" > enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" id="myform" class="hidden"> > <select data-conv-question="Hello!
