db.dog.owner.represent = lambda value, row: db.person(value).name *because this notation raise an error:* db.dog.owner.represent = lambda value: db.person(value).name (take this in consideration or you are going to get mad) 2011/8/26 Martín Mulone <mulone.mar...@gmail.com> > db.dog.owner.represent = lambda value, row: db.person(value).name > > Value is the value of the current field, in this example dog owner is an id > of the person for example "1", so to display person name I have to pass this > value to search a person with this id: db.person(value).name. > > Row is the all row of the current record, perhaps for this example is not > need it.
