Thanks for the advice. I changed my code, but I don't know if I'm on the right track. Anyhow it doesn't work.
==in a model file== db.define_table('input', Field('value', 'integer')) class MyVirtualFields(object): def input_number(self): return self.input.value ==in a controller file== def create(): records = db().select(db.day.ALL, orderby=db.day.thedate) form = SQLFORM(db.input, fields=['value']) db.day.virtualfields.append(MyVirtualFields()) return dict(form = form) def deleterec(): session.virtualfields.remove(MyVirtualFields()) db.input.input_number.remove(MyVirtualFields()) redirect(URL('create')) ==in create.html== {{for record in records:}} {{session.virtualfields=record.virtualfields}} {{=record.value}} : [ {{=A(("Delete this record"), _href=URL('deleterec'))}} >On Jan 2, 10:36 pm, Kenneth Lundström <kenneth.t.lundst...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you only want to display a number I guess virtual fields is what you > need.
