Notice how I have validators set on the database level of web2py. db.table.field.requires = IS_IN_DB(...)
I only use SQLFORM.factory to create my forms. I only use SQLFORM.factory because for my purposes forms cannot be mapped directly to database tables. Take a reference field for example, I want my database to store it as an ID, however I want the form to allow input as another field in the reference table, say "name". So for this I use a different IS_IN_DB validator for my sqlform.factories than the IS_IN_DB for a reference field. IS_IN_DB(db, 'signup.code') vs IS_IN_DB(db, 'signup.id'), but my database actually stores the ID, so on form.accepts I query for the records id. So here is my question, are validators used anywhere else in web2py except by crud and SQLFORM ? Am I safe by not setting validators on the database level ? Now sometimes I will use a field as is straight from the database (like the gender column), in this case I can see setting a database-level validator and then when creating my SQLFORM.factory, just referencing the fields I know arn't special. -Thadeus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
