Ok this is what i am trying to achieve and have been struggling with for
weeks now, in the controller below I am searching for businesses that offer
desired services, after displaying all those businesses, from that very
list am trying to further filter through that list by searching for
businesses that offer that desired service but in a certain desired
location.
I hope I give sense
*FULL CONTROLLER1 CODE*
def companies():
*resultsARE=db.services(request.args(0))*
rslts=db(db.business.services==resultsARE.id).select(db.business.ALL,
orderby=db.business.company_name)
services=len(rslts)
form=SQLFORM.factory(Field('query', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), label=SPAN(
'', _style="font-weight: bold;"), widget = lambda field, value: SQLFORM.
widgets.string.widget(field, value, _class='my-string', _id='searching',
_placeholder='LOCATION')))
searchBtn=form.element('input',_type='submit')
searchBtn['_style'] = 'display:none;'
if form.accepts(request):
tokens=form.vars.query.split()
query=reduce(lambda a,b:a&b, [db.locations.name.contains(k) for k in
tokens])
location=db(query).select(orderby=db.locations.name)
else:
location=[]
return locals()
*CONTROLLER2 CODE*
def Results():
results=db.locations(request.args(0))
comps=companies()
for services in comps:
serv=services
rslts=db(db.business.place==results.id).select
*(db.business.services==resultsARE.id)*
services=len(rslts)
return locals()
