With a lot of help from Alberto, I've created a Generic Form
Controller that reduces a lot of the repetition when you have lots of
straightforward forms on your site. It should be fairly easy to
customise for your own purposes:
class GenericFormController(controllers.Controller):
def __init__(self, form, data_handler, intro_text="",
thank_you_message="Thank you."):
super(self.__class__, self).__init__()
self.form = form
self.data_handler = data_handler
self.intro_text = intro_text
self.thank_you_message = thank_you_message
@expose()
@validate(form=self.form)
@error_handler(self.index.im_func)
def save(self, **kwargs):
self.data_handler(**kwargs)
raise redirect('thank_you')
self.save = new.instancemethod(save, self, self.__class__)
@expose(template='.templates.form')
def index(self):
form = self.form
intro_text = self.intro_text
return dict(form=form, intro_text=intro_text)
@expose(template='.templates.form_thankyou')
def thank_you(self):
thank_you_message = self.thank_you_message
return dict(thank_you_message=thank_you_message)
It can be used like this:
register = GenericFormController(my_form, model.MyTable,
intro_text='Please fill in my form.', thank_you_message='Thank you for
filling in my form.')
Hope it's of use to people.
