Breaks backwards compatability. So under our banner of web2pyism, we can't
do it.
However, devnull, try this, this will alter the input before you validate it
through the form, so you can apply operators, such as stripping, or
.capitalize() or .upper() or anything really :P
def decode(string, strip="!...@#$%^&*()"):
newstr = ""
for char in string:
if char not in strip:
newstr += char
return newstr
def myaction():
if request.vars:
request.vars.fieldname = decode(request.vars.fieldname)
form = SQLFORM(db.tablename)
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
response.flash = "yay"
elif form.errors:
response.flash = "nay"
else:
response.flash = "hey"
