Hi, I think Sebastian is right. Being in a similar place I did not manage yet to find out how to create a form with self located fields and styles and attributes. Better said all of the examples I found handle with the default layout of the SQLFORM/FORM generated form. Yeah I know there are some tries of explain it in the user group and in the FAQs, but not complete enough to get it. (especially when you need data from two tables in the form) As I purchased the book, too , four weeks ago and read _ALL_ the FAQs on this topic and the examples and, and, and now since two weeks I still didn't find any example, snippet, explanation that could enlighten me enough to get the job done. Well you could state that I am simply too dumb to get it --- but that could be a good reason to ask if there is really everything there to get people on speed. (btw. I am not that bad in Python)
I would, like Sebastian, highly appreciate if there was something like a snippet site where users could file some code where they solved problems all of the web2py users will hit very likely. I am also with Sebastian when he says that you guys are really good and responsive in this group, just sometimes the answers are a bit biased from the deep knowledge of you guys with web2py that the answers are a bit brief and hard to catch for a web2py rookie web2py is impressing and really a great piece of work, thank you Massimo and all who contributed to this awesome framework. Still the help you can provide could be completed by such a snippet site. just think about it best regards Stefan On 24 Okt., 18:48, Sebastian Brandt <snoogi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > thanks for your message. > > I already bought the book few days ago and I am reading it to get more > into web2py. > > I already had a look at the examples and they helped me in some point > but I think that more easy examples can help more users. > I think it is a really good thing that the appliances are with source > code but they are very complex and with small knowledge in python and > the web2py framework it is very hard to understand what the code is > doing and why. > Sometimes it is just a little frustrating that my personal knowledge > is so small and I don't understand how stuff works. :-) > Thanks anyways > Sebastian > > On 24 Okt., 17:37, CJSteel <chris.st...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Sebastien, > > > A ton of examples are around, although I know when I was first > > checking out web2py it was a bit difficult to "find" them.
