I was thinking of a syntax like this: > > class Posts(SQLObject): > slug = StringCol(alternateID=True, length=255, userField=False > filterMethod=my.slugify) > time = DateTimeCol(default=datetime.now, > userField=False, filterMethod=my.filter) > title = StringCol(length=200) > text = StringCol() > > The DataController would then be able to build a form simply on the > title and text only, and run the filters on the form submission.

Yo can do that specifying the fields to show to the DataController, see ticket #278: http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/ticket/278 Basically you can do: post = DataController(Posts, form_fields=('title', 'text')) One thing missing is the posibility to add 'actions' to fill the missing fields (and maybe this is exactly what you need). -- Leandro Lucarella (luca) | Blog colectivo: http://www.mazziblog.com.ar/blog/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------, \ GPG: 5F5A8D05 // F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05 / '--------------------------------------------------------------------' The average person laughs 13 times a day
