event.creator in the view is not a field, it is just an element in a row besides represent is only used by SQLFORM and SQLTABLE (the later explains why BEAUTIFY works).
If you want to use represent in the view you would have to do so explicitly: {{ for e in events: }} <li>{{ =db.event.creator.represent(e.creator) }} : {{ =e.description }}</li> {{ pass }} --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
