I am a web2py newbie though I've used Python for years. I need a CRMy kind of application so I latched onto this https://github.com/mdipierro/web2py-appliances/tree/master/CustomerRelationshipManagement and am trying to tweak it for my specific needs. It would probably be better to cut my teeth on something simpler, but oh well, there you have it.
My newbie question: I added an email field to the person table. Every time I view this datum I want this field, without exception, to be displayed as a mailto anchor tag. Where in the MVC paradigm is the best place to define this parameter? To elaborate a bit in the following view it's the crud.read that automatically handles all the data iterations and display, yes? As a workaround I know I could go with something like a for or while block and walk through the data. I'd rather that the crud.read knows that it needs to display the email field as a mailto anchor tag. That way my views will stay synced with future data model changes which is one of the benefits of web2py. {{extend 'layout.html'}} <h1>{{=person.name}}</h1> <h2>{{=person.role}} at {{=link_company(person.company)}}</a></h2> {{=button('edit','edit_person',person.id)}} {{=button('logs','list_logs',person.id)}} {{=button('docs','list_docs',person.id)}} {{=button('tasks','list_tasks',person.id)}} {{=crud.read(db.person,person)}} {{=tag('person',person.id)}} -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
