I've done some look up into the code, did some changes and checked how it behaves.
I noted, that using the same code....something is not right with the author field. See the screen shot, the author is not posting but the rest of info is posting. I used the sqlite browser to check the messages. This is the current error i'm now getting with the same code. def index(): ...code here... r = []#info will be posted here codes = [] del codes[:] form = FORM(INPUT(_name='message'), INPUT(_type='submit')) if request.POST.vars: r.append(request.POST.message) codes.append(r[0]) rows = db(db.posts.author== auth.user_id).select() for row in rows: row.update_record(message=codes[0]) name3 = request.GET.message db.answers.insert(quest=name3, message = report())#, file=photos) db.posts.insert(message = report()) ####>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RETRIEVE MESSAGES<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ##replies = db(db.answers.author == auth.user_id).select(orderby=~db.answers.created_on, limitby=(0,10)) replies = db(db.answers).select(orderby=~db.answers.created_by, limitby=(0,10)) return dict(name3=name3, replies=replies) template: [[extend 'layout.html']] [[import datetime]] [[from yatl.helpers import A, TEXTAREA, INPUT, TR, TD, TABLE, DIV, LABEL, FORM, SELECT, OPTION, P, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, HTML, BODY, META]] <body> <div class="chat_window" id="a2"> <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> Error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/maurice/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 551, in wrapper ret = func(*func_args, **func_kwargs) File "/home/maurice/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 514, in wrapper ret = obj.transform(ret) File "/home/maurice/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 300, in transform reader=Template.reader, File "/home/maurice/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yatl/template.py", line 968, in render exec(code, context) File "<string>", line 39, in <module> TypeError: URL() got an unexpected keyword argument 'args' On Wed, Mar 4, 2020 at 12:46 AM Dave S <snidely....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at 2:08:27 AM UTC-8, Maurice Waka wrote: >> >> Any help on this please ? >> >> On Friday, February 28, 2020 at 9:29:01 PM UTC+3, Maurice Waka wrote: >>> >>> 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.
