I'm still learning a lot from py4web.....especially not being a programmer myself, and I appreciate a lot from the help I get from you ALL.
Anyway, I managed o create the tables and controller functions but I note that I'm not able to post to the database, at the same time, I cant see the messages on the index page..this code works well in web2py. I hope I have posted all relevant info. My codes are as follows: Controller: import requests from . common import * from pydal.validators import * from datetime import datetime, timedelta, date from py4web.utils.auth import Auth from py4web.utils.form import Form, FormStyleBulma from py4web.utils.publisher import Publisher, ALLOW_ALL_POLICY from .common import db, session, T, cache, auth, logger, authenticated, unauthenticated from py4web import action, request, DAL, Field, Session, Cache, user_in, abort, redirect, URL, Translator from pydal.validators import IS_NOT_EMPTY, IS_INT_IN_RANGE, IS_IN_SET, IS_IN_DB, IS_EMAIL, IS_MATCH from yatl.helpers import A, TEXTAREA, INPUT, TR, TD, TABLE, DIV, LABEL, FORM , SELECT, OPTION, P, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, HTML, BODY, META auth = Auth(session, db) # (configure here) auth.enable() @authenticated() @action.uses(db, session, T, auth.user) def index(): codes = [] del codes[:] r = [] yesterday = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=1) db(db.answers.modified_on < yesterday).delete() form = FORM(INPUT(_name='message'), INPUT(_type='submit')) if request.POST.vars: r.append(request.POST.message) codes.append(r[0]) #db.posts.insert(message=codes[0]) rows = db(db.posts.author== auth.user_id).select() for row in rows: row.update_record(message=codes[0]) ...more code reports = 'wellness_main.report()' #data from modules name3 = request.POST.message #string from user db.answers.insert(quest=name3, message = report()) replies = db(db.answers.author == auth.user_id).select(db.answers.ALL, orderby=db.answers.created_on)[-7:-1] # show the last few posts from the table return dict(name3=name3, reports=reports, replies=replies) Models: from datetime import datetime, timedelta, date from py4web import action, request, DAL, Field, Session, Cache, user_in from py4web.utils.auth import Auth from py4web import action, request, abort, redirect, URL, Field from py4web.utils.form import Form, FormStyleBulma from py4web.utils.publisher import Publisher, ALLOW_ALL_POLICY from pydal.validators import IS_NOT_EMPTY, IS_INT_IN_RANGE, IS_IN_SET, IS_IN_DB, IS_EMAIL, IS_MATCH from yatl.helpers import INPUT, H1, HTML, BODY, A from pydal.validators import * from . common import db, session, T, cache, authenticated, unauthenticated, Field # exposes services necessary to access the db.thing via ajax publisher = Publisher(db, policy=ALLOW_ALL_POLICY) # define session and cache objects session = Session(secret="some secret") cache = Cache(size=1000) auth = Auth(session, db) # (configure here) auth.enable() db.define_table('posts', Field('author', 'reference auth_user', default=auth.user_id, writable=False, readable=False), Field("message", 'text', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(), notnull= False), auth.signature ) db.define_table('answers', Field('author', 'reference auth_user', default=auth.user_id, readable=False, writable=False), Field('quest', 'text', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(),), Field("message", 'text', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(),), Field('posted_on','datetime', default=datetime.utcnow()), auth.signature ) View...index.html N/B This is part of a long html, js code: <ul class="messages"> [[for reply in replies:]] <li class="message right appeared"> <div>[[=reply.modified_on]]</div> <div class="text_wrapper"> <div class="text">[[=XML(reply.quest, sanitize=True)]]</div> </div> </li> <li class="message left appeared"> <div>[[=reply.posted_on]]</div> <div class="col-md-1 col-lg-2"></div> <div class = "col-md-10 col-lg-8"> <div class="text_wrapper"> <!--div class="readmore"--> <div style="font-family: 'Josefin Slab';font-size: 1.2em; color: black;"> <a href="#" id="[[=reply.id]]-show" class="showLink" style=" color:#38D9D6;font-size:18px;"onclick="showHide('[[=reply.id]]'); return false;">Read answer</a> <div id="[[=reply.id]]" style="background: #EFF2F2; height: 0px; overflow: hidden; transition: height 2s; -moz-transition: height 2s; -webkit-transition: height 2s; -o-transition: height 2s;"class= "more"> <div id="text-content"style="text-align: justify; font-weight: lighter; line-height:1.4; hyphens: manual; word-wrap: break- word;color:black;font-size: 16px;">[[=XML(reply.message, sanitize=True)]] </div> </div> </div> [[pass]] </div> </div> <div class="col-md-1 col-lg-2"></div> </li> </ul> -- 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.
