Problem:
I have database tables for customers, members, etc that look like
db.define_table('customer',
Field('user_id', db.auth_user),
address('bill'), #inherit address fields
address('ship'), #inherit address fields
phone, #inherit phone fields
migrate = 'customer.table'
)
I have database records for 'clients', 'customers', 'members' etc.
each of which has
a field 'user_id' which references the auth_user table and a dozen or
so other fields.
When SQLFORM displays this it shows a pull-down list of all auth_user
id's which should not be editable or even seen by users editing their
record.
How do I accomplish this? The 'fields' parameter of the SQLFORM call
will work, but adding those dozen field names is awkward and error-
prone as field names get changed. Also naming the fields to be
displayed is misleading where the intent is actually to hide fields.
Using groups and permissions seems needlessly complex.
Feature:
Add an additional optional parameter to the call to SQLFORM named
'not_fields' which would specify which fields are not displayed.
Or maybe there's a way to do this easily already?
