Hi, I found that custom.form stuff earlier, but I did not know what to make from that. Is anybody here who can explain that for a beginner and how it works in the controller, view, controller perspective ?
web2py rookie asking here, I can't really understand you specialists as long as you stay that brief. So with SQLFORM.factory I seem to be able to create one form from two tables, even that means I have to composite a lot of fields in this call there is a solution. How can I access these fields the in the view ? How do I get the default values from the database filled in (oops I forgot to mention that the controller is an edit_user function which means the form needs to be prefilled) Anyway how can I access the fields inside the view and how do I trigger the update of the table in case some values got changed. Any example for this case ? best Stefan On 24 Okt., 20:35, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > What is wrong with this? > > form=SQLFORM.factory(db.table1.field1,db.table2.field2) > > On Oct 24, 1:28 pm, Thadeus Burgess <thade...@thadeusb.com> wrote: > > > As far as [1], use custom form > > >http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/205 > > > As far as [2], you could use SQLFORM.factory() or just a straight FORM() > > object, and populate their default from the database, and on accepts you > > would have to insert them seperately into the database. > > > I think this is a limitation of web2py that needs some work, Too often do I > > have to break DRY just to get data from two tables into one form, its not > > pretty, and difficult to maintain. > > > I find myself, almost not even using SQLFORM or CRUD anymore, just because I > > need specific fine grained control. > > > -Thadeus > > > On Sat, Oct 24, 2009 at 1:22 PM, znafets <znaf...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > ot a table with user data and a table with address data referencing > > > the user > > > Now I would like to cre --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
