Hello web2py users ... This is a question in 2 folds :
I wish to use the multiselect plugin as a widget on a form ( SQLFORM ) as opposed to on a crud as demonstrated in the following example : http://www.web2py.com/plugins/default/multiselect However there is one additional detail that I wish to make available - so let me elaborate a bit on the issue at hand. Auth_users need to specify their spoken languages upon registration and they can and should be able to select more than 1 or 2 speaking languages ! for example: in my case, multiple checkboxes ( 4 checkboxes ) to choose the spoken languages 1- English ( checkbox ) 2- French ( checkbox ) 3- Spanish ( checkbox ) 4 - Other ( checkbox ) : ( specify ) with a blank input field where the user will specify the langage ( or the additional languages separated by a comma in the input field ) ! so first : I am unable to use the plugin multiselect on a form as a widget ... if I can ... how do I set it up as a widget for forms .. instead of crud ?? and second : how do I code-ready the 4th option above in my model, my controller to the view for the form ??? ... if in my db.py file, I have this defined : user_lang = ('French','English','Spanish','Other') > > db.define.table ( 'auth_user', > Field('first_name', type='string', > label=T('First Name')), > Field('last_name', type='string', > label=T('Last Name')), > Field('language_spoken','list:string',label=T('I speak'), > requires=IS_IN_SET((1,2,3,4),user_lang, multiple=True))) > > off course, I want the 'Other' value in the user_lang tuple defined to be a list of languages defined by the subscriber upon registration ! .. How do i go about this ??? ... please help ! ... the plugin multiselect does not do it for me ! .. i used checkboxes ... but i get them in one single column and it is taking much space on the form ... and I cannot get the 4th option as a checkboxe with an input field ! Can someone help me with this so I can make it look good, like .. may be one row ... or possibly 2 rows 2 columns for the 4 checkboxes ??? ... what about the input field for the fourth option in the set !!??? thank you. --
