[web2py:13491] Re: Validate multiple fields

[Timothy Farrell]

Yes, this would require changing some things in gluon.validators and gluon.html.  I'm of the mindset that this sort of validator is very important.  However, I'll have to look into it later.  Could you send me your code if you still have it? Thanks,   tim DenesL wrote: Oops, I misunderstood your goal. Actually I wrote a ROW_NOT_IN_DB validator which did not get Massimo's approval, but looking back it might have been because I used a bad example to make the case. Anyways, just coding the validator was not enough, I had to modify a few things in gluon too. On Dec 12, 12:19 pm, Timothy Farrell <tfarr...@swgen.com> wrote: Help me understand how this works. "value", in the _expression_, gets replaced with the value being validated, correct? If so, then your suggestions check if field1 == field2. That's not quite what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for would be something like this:ARE_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'table', ['field1', 'field2', 'field3], error_message='ACK!') I think I'll have to code this up real quick.
