My errors in previews post:
form['_action'] = URL(index') - my error - correct is> ->
form['_action'] = URL('index')
my_value - is mean -> URL('controller') #this can be controller or
index or some value.
>From last Anthony replay I figure out why it can't work from view but
how to resolve this in controller.
this is my form definition in controller:
def people():
form = crud.create(db.person,next=URL('people'),message=T("record created"))
return dict(form = form)
I try next example and all mentioned options:
def people():
form = crud.create(db.person,next=URL('people'),message=T("record created"))
form['_action'] = URL('index')
return dict(form = form)
but my action field in form is empty.
