Hello
I'm a python/turbogears newbie.
I've been searching the docs for an example of calling one
controller from another and have come up empty.
Reason:
I've copied the movie toscawidgets tutorial in setting up
a controller to create a form instance
create_enrol_form = EnrolmentForm("create_enrol_form", action='create')
and display the form by sending it to the create controller:
@validate(create_enrol_form,error_handler=enrol)
@expose()
def create(self, **kw):
...
raise redirect("list") <-- this is the line I'd like to change
After form validation, I want to display a message on the screen that
is populated with data from the form and from a "related" table,
so I'd like to pass to a template two objects that can be used as data
for the message.
I can send in the dicts of the two objects but that seems messy -
especially in the url (GET method).
I can achieve what I want in a python script just by calling
genshi.loader.load.generate, passing it a dictionary of the
two objects, and then calling genshi's render (outputting html),
but that doesn't work in tg (I get a blank screen),
and copying the simple movie case and raising a redirect
only seems to allow me to pass a dictionary of strings
to url (there is no documentation on pylons.url):
(from tg.controllers.py:)
from pylons import url
...
def redirect(*args, **kwargs):
url(*args, **kwargs)
If I pass objects in to redirect in **kwargs, it transmits only their
str() forms using GET to the url and I can't access any of their
attributes.
So how do I send objects from a form and a db query of an associated
table directly from the form creation controller to another
form-confirmation controller?
Thanks
Anita
