Re: [web2py] Re: how to define functions in modules and then import it

Are you getting an error? What is working fine? What are these: "__view(parameters), __feed(parameters), __result(parameters)"? A suggestion would be to skip the ajax and paging for now. That can complicate things and is not really necessary. Keep things as simple as possible.

T() is for text translations and I'm not sure you can use it (or would want to) with non-static text. That dict() looks a little messy. For one thing, you can simply include blogs=blogs. Some of those things I would put in the view instead (MARKMIN(().xml(), URL('blog_show')). Also, since views

Hm, that might be a last resort. I am trying to do something more in line with settatr, but unfortunately, even the fields to compute the virtual fields are variables and not strings in the function, which is also named after the virtual table instead of being a string argument. Seems quite tricky.
