The setup:
I'm working on a 3-step editing wizard, so, 3 pages with a form on
each page. The navigation between the pages is done via Next and
Previous submit buttons. When you go from page 1 to page 2, the
contents of the form on page 1 are stored in the session. All 3 pages
are written to the database when they complete step 3 -- until then
they remain in the session.
For each page, I'm using SQLFORM.factory to create the forms, and
using a custom layout via {{=form.custom.widget.myfield}} in the view.I got it working to the extent that I fill out the form on page 1, hit 'Next', and I can verify that the values from form 1 are stored in the session. My question is this: When I'm on page 2 and hit 'Back', how do I get the custom form 1 to use the values stored in the session as the field values? That is, how do I use SQLFORM.factory as an edit form (given that I have a dictionary of key-value pairs, with the keys being the field names)? Similarly, if I want to edit a record from the database, and need the custom layout that SQLFORM.factory provides, and I load the record from the db, how do I make the form use those values I loaded? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
