Hi
Looking into this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/8c0479e1df9df3e3/be160c757aa666b8?lnk=gst&q=code+against+existing+form#be160c757aa666b8
I had the same problem:
I had in my view a form :
-----------------------------
form name='form2'
method="post" > ----------- <input type="submit" /></form>
This form has some kind of variable called sector which id is passed
through accepting the form
and in my controller I've a sector() function that has:
-------------------------
if request.args:
form = SQLFORM(db.sector,
request.args(0))
else:
form = SQLFORM(db.sector)
if form.accepts(request.vars,
formname='form'):
# do something
form2 = FORM(INPUT(),
INPUT(_type='submit')) # This form should exist at all conditions
[whether there are args or not] and
it's just there because I've 'form2' in my view [I program against an
existing form
if form2.accepts(request.vars,
formname=form2): -> This doesn't execute unless formname=None
# do something
return dict(form=form,form2=form2 )
Now I have a problem :
the accepts part of form2 doesn't evaluate to True unless
formname=None, but in this case I get a problem accessing my
controller without any arguments
locating a place like 127.0.0.1/my_app/controller/sector always
redirects me to 127.0.0.1/my_app/controller/sector/None
To solve this problem I had to do something like:
if form2.accepts(request.vars, formname=None):
if request.vars.sector: # a form variable that is sent
when accepting form
redirect(URL(r=request, c='controller', f='sector',
args=[request.vars.sector])) # redirect me to the same function
but with an id argument
SO is this a bug ? or just it's the usual behavior ? and why doesn't
formname='form2' work?
Thanks
