my code goes like this:
db.py db.define_table('category', Field('name', requires = (IS_LOWER(), IS_SLUG(), IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'category.name')))) db.define_table( 'searches', Field('body', 'text', requires = (IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_LOWER())), label = ''), auth.signature) def view_searches(): id = request.args(0, cast=int) searches = db.searches(id) or redirect(URL('index')) form1 = [searches.body] name3 = ''.join(form1) code........ def create_searches(): category = get_category form =SQLFORM(db.searches, id, showid =False,).process(next = 'view_searches/[id]') return locals() in view section for create_serches: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>BritamIntell</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{=URL('static', 'css/create_searches.css')}}"> </head> <body> <div class="chatbox"> <div class="chatlogs"> <div class="chat friend"> <div class="user-photo"><img src="{{=URL('static','images/userOne.png')}}"/></div> <p class="chat-message">More code needed</p> </div> <div class="chat self"> <div class="user-photo"><img src="{{=URL('static','images/userTwo.png')}}"/></div> <p class="chat-message"><a href="view_searches.html"/a> {{for item in name3:}} {{while True:}}{{break}} <div class = "well"> <table> <tr> <td> <p> <font size="3" face="lucida sans unicode" color="blue">{{='Answer:'}}</font><br/> <font size="2.5" face="lucida sans unicode" color="darkblue">{{=XML(report.replace('\n','<br>'))}}{{break}} </font><br/> </p> </td> </tr> </table> {{pass}} {{pass}} {{pass}} </a></li></p> </div> </div> <div class="chat-form"> {{=form}} </d> </div> </body> </html> My biggest problem is linking at the chat.self and chat.friend in view html for create_searches. I cant seem to connect/link to and from the view_searches in default which happens to have a function code that works to get a message from 'form' and post it on the html page in the create_searches. This is like a chat-bot with someone retrieving items such as names from a db...in this case db.searches. if one inputs(through chat.self) a name such as John, and submits it at chat-form, then the chat.friend looks in the db for the name or other information and posts it back to the page. Am still learning more with web2py and python and i would like help and correction where possible Regards -- 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.
