niklasr,
Thank you for sharing your approach. It is very illuminating.
Andy,
I think I understand a little better and have revised our app but have
not deployed the change yet. The class Group has not been changed, and
we have not yet finalized a way to make the key_name unique by adding
a definition of "class Keysorsomething()" for that purpose and
enabling a dialog with the user if his/her choice has been taken. But,
I can show you the basic idea by in relation to the original group =
Group() and group.put() section.
Earlier in this thread I had suggested the following sequence of
commands and they were almost correct, but in the last line of the
sequence, instead of "key", we needed "g_place". With that change and
corresponding changes in two similar places in our maps.py, I think we
have what we want except that we need to add the features which direct
the user to select a unique key_name.
def post(self):
g_place = self.request.get('place')
group = Group(key_name=g_place)
group.place = g_place
key = group.put()
self.redirect("/?place=%s" % key)
So, yes, I appreciate your further explanation of the differences
between key_name s and id s. I am not sure I have the full picture,
but I am past a major hurdle, for me.
Brian
