It could well be I'm just confused, but it probably means others are too. TG (and TW) are both great, it is just a bit hard to understand the documents.
http://turbogears.org/2.1/docs/main/ToscaWidgets/Cookbook/FlexiGrid.html This is the style Rob also mentions. This tutorial uses tw1 not tw2 but it seems to follow through. The FlexiGrid uses a json call back to the server called fetch. I'm a little confused why you would do a query THEN place a limit about 5 lines down, doesn't this mean you fetch 100s of database rows and then throw away all but 25 of them? This documentation is deprecated in 2.2 with no replacement, I assume because it is TW1 and not TW2. Both the widget and the json method have the model in them. The widget specifies what columns are seen and the method access the specific model. This way seems the clearest to me. http://www.toscawidgets.org/documentation/tw2.core/turbogears.html About 3/4 down the page there is a section called "Getting Fancier" This grid accesses its data through a url like /tw2_controllers/db_jqgrid/ but to get it to work you have to muck around with the app_config.py to make a new middleware. It only talks about TG2.1 and 2.0 Uses the SQLAjqGridWidget which filters the column and what model to query. http://threebean.org/blog/2011/04/30/tutorial-melting-your-face-off-with-tw2-and-turbogears2-1/ Ralph Bean's tutorial. This had a lot of those "I get it now" moments. This creates a widget inherited from SQLAjqGridWidget that then calls a common url. But the method is two lines long. The widget specifies the model used. For #2 and #3 I don't see how you can do things like filter from the initial standpoint. The filters work with a user playnig with a grid but for a page like /parent/42 I'd like to display a grid of all the children of parent #42 and only show them no matter what the user clicks on the grid. They all work btw, I have test code that more or less does all three methods; I'm just not sure what is the right one to use. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ http://enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org GPG fingerprint: 5D2F B320 B825 D939 04D2 0519 3938 F96B DF50 FEA5 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
