Perhaps you want to use columns instead of fields. replace your controller with this:
def index(): columns = ['dog.name', 'dog.owner'] table = SQLFORM.grid(db.dog, columns=columns) return dict(table=table) columns affect the grid column displaying only. Pass to column the field you want to display, no need to put readable=False. 2011/9/14 Simon Ashley <gregs...@gmail.com> > While it could be a bug, and seems to be similar to another reported > issue: > > http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/aa5fa98a74e9364f# > there has been no formal acknowledgement of it in .grid or .smartgrid, > nor have there been any defect tickets raised. > > You can also see it in a screenshot that Bruno Rocha posted recently: > http://www.diigo.com/item/image/121xl/3iob > It leads me to think that there may be an alternative method, > particularly when 1.99.1. is due shortly. > > Cheers, > > (apologies if there are a number of similar posts from me. > The first 2 seemed to be accepted, but haven't appeared yet. > This is posted using a different account) > > On Sep 14, 12:11 am, Jim Steil <j...@qlf.com> wrote: > > Is it possible that this is a bug?
