Great little framework you guys have going here. I am new to python (thanks GAE) and new to web2py. It actually reminds me of a php framework that I liked and used called qcodo. It takes a similar MVC view toward things (despite being PHP) Web2py is really much simpler & elegant, however one of the things about the qcodo ORM generated CRUD interface was that it incorporated the FK relationships. In the admin interface generated from the ORM it would create a listbox for each field that was a FK, and that list box would be populated by the available values in the related table. You then had to specify which part of the data you wanted to see in the list box.
You can see what I am talking about in about four minutes... pull up the screencast located at http://www.qcodo.com/demos/beta_2/demo_d_form_drafts/demo_d_form_drafts.html and skip to 5:50 and watch until 10:00ish. Here is my little test that I was working with, for the given model <code> db.define_table("group_type", SQLField("type", "string", notnull=True, default=None)) db.define_table("groups", SQLField("title", "string", notnull=True, default=None), SQLField("desc", "string", notnull=True, default=None), SQLField("id_group_type", db.group_type)) </code> I was envisioning that while "editing" [http://localhost:8000/XZY/ appadmin/insert/db/groups] the groups table from the admin interface to see the list of available type id's as a drop down list along side the other two text boxes. (Or even better the type string's which would need to be based on a standard naming convention or configuration.) After all that... here is ny question: is something like that available in web2py that I missed while watching your screencasts and reading the online docs? (I admit, I haven't jumped for the PDF or book yet). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
