Consider linked data:
db.define_table('church',
SQLField('name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())
db.define_table('person',
SQLField('name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(),
SQLField('church'), db.person)
And the easy thing to do is then SQLFORM(db.person). Cool.
OK, so what about when doing data entry at the international conference
of something religious.
Is there a way to easily enter a new church at the same time as entering
a new person? That is, a way to somehow click on a person form and
inserts in the same view a subordinate form for entering a church?
Maybe the user interface would look like:
- adding to the church select-one a popup an "Add..." item
- when the "Add..." item is selected show a second form in the same
view (for entering the linked data, in this case church).
Is there a way to add a customized item to a select-one popup menu?
And, to further cause trouble, instead of a menu, is there a way to do
an Ajax type search for the church (there are a lot of churches in the
world) instead of a mile-long menu? (I suppose with button next to it
saying "Create new..." that reveals the second form.)
Thanks,
