I think the behaviour of "compute=" is not good. Most people need calculated field which ALWAYS follow the source values and not just ONCE. So I have found in google group, lot of people fall through the time in same problem and there is still no clear solution.
I now need this for Markmin source and calculated Html output (both fields in same table) I have solved this so: ...Field('html', compute = lambda row: MARKMIN(row.markmin).xml())... and in addition I use "onaccept" method in form: def post_forcecompute(form): row = db.post(form.vars.id) row.update_record(html=db.post.html.compute(row)) crud_post.settings.update_onaccept = post_forcecompute This works, however it is not very good workaround, because it is neccessary to solve it in form, instead of in the model :( Mirek Dne čtvrtek, 29. prosince 2011 21:36:35 UTC+1 Richard napsal(a): > > Ping! > > computed field not compute on update...
