Hello!
I was not able to find this information in one place so I had to piece it
together, so I thought I would share it here:
On page 94 in the Cookbook the "Designing modular applications" example has
some mistakes and consequently the new item is not displayed automatically when
using the create form.
The problem lies in this function:
def edit_item():
def display_changed(data):
response.ajax = 'web2py_component("%s","show_itemlist")'
%URL('showitems')
form = crud.update(db.mytable, request.args(0), onaccept=display_changed)
return form
specifically the 3rd line needs to be changed to:
response.js = "web2py_component('%s', 'showitems')" %URL('default','list_items')
It should be
- 1: response.js instead of response.ajax
- 2: the web2py_component has to target the showitems DIV (created by the LOAD
helper on the index page)
- 3: the URL has to point to the list_items view
Well this is just what worked for me after a few tries, it may not be 100%
correct, I am still learning!
