I figured if I could update the amount field in db.product within the buy
functiontion just around the same time i'm saving inside the db.sale table
when purchasing then it should be easy but I am having a really hard time
identifying only the purchased items by their ids & subtracting their
quantities from similar items in db.product!
The code below is able to update the amount in db.product but it updates
for all products which is not what i want
CODE SAMPLE 1:
for item1 in item1:
diff=item1.amount-value
db(db.product.amount).update(amount=diff)
Then i made another desperate attempt with the code below but it is not
updating anything at all!
for item1 in item1:
for id, k in session.cart.items():
if item1.id==k:
diff=item1.amount-value
db(db.product.amount).update(amount=diff)
Anyone who can do this better please help.
Regards;
