Hi Massimo;
Thanks for all the help.
So I made the updates as suggested. The upshot is that currently the
tables and the pull down all show up on the same page. What I would
like to do is to have an info screen or 1st page identical to "example
28" with a pull down at the top which allows the user to select the
ticket type and then proceed to that page. How do I combine example 28
with what I have so far? Note substitute the word ticket with the word
task.
So here's what I have to date:
In the default controller (controllers/default.py):
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# default controlling code
# # sample index page with internationalization (T)
def index():
form1=SQLFORM(db.FACWO_Task)
form2=SQLFORM(db.Electrical_Task)
form3=SQLFORM(db.Mechanical_Task)
form4=SQLFORM(db.Plumbing_Task)
if form1.accepts(request.vars,session):
response.flash="form accepted!"
elif form2.accepts(request.vars,session):
response.flash="form accepted"
elif form3.accepts(request.vars,session):
response.flash="form accepted"
elif form4.accepts(request.vars,session):
response.flash="form accepted"
else:
response.flash="form is invalid!"
return dict(form1=form1,form2=form2,form3=form3,form4=form4)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and in the views/default/index.html there is:
<form>
<select name="task" id="task_type">
<option value="FACWO_Task">general</option>
<option value="Electrical_Task">electrical</option>
<option value="Mechanical_Task">mechanical</option>
<option value="Plumbing_Task">plumbing</option>
</select>
</form>
<div class="myform general">{{=form1}}</div>
<div class="myform electrical">{{=form2}}</div>
<div class="myform mechanical">{{=form3}}</div>
<div class="myform plumbing">{{=form4}}</div>
<script>
function hide() { $(".myform").hide(); }
$(document).ready(function(){hide();});
$("#task_type").change(function(){hide(); $('.'+$(this).val
()).slideToggle();})
</script>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So currently when I click on the default.py index you see a page with
all the tables listed from top to down. You can see my desire for a
front page. So in driving example 28 I saw a vey nice screen with name
and email. So go any ideas how I could add the drop down to example 28
and then when a user selects a drop down item it will then go to the
correct form representing the db table?
