Bruno Thanks a lot for this, it is a very useful tool just as I needed it.
I am using the latest version of web2py, and python 2.5, so I had the same problems as Tomt had. I commented out the 'with open(path' etc. I am now finding that the delete buttons do not work on the examples on which they appear. I discovered that the 'data' functions were not being called, so the confirmationmodal does not seem to be working. Using refreshmodal to force the link to the 'data' functions got it further but then I get a page not found, which is strange as the details and edit buttons do work fine. I hope this is useful feedback. Peter
