Anthony:
Thanks... I appreciate everyone's help on this thread. I did what you
suggested.
and I now have it working (perfectly- I think)
. I added 2 lines to db.py
and inserted into layout.html
referrer_actions=None
as shown in detail below.
I also learned how to redirect a user, after they update their profile
(commented out line below)
I guess it is pretty *simple :)*, just a line here, and a line there (see
yellow highlight below)
... but I never would have figured it out without this thread.
Perhaps my code below, if correct, would be useful to others... I have to
think this is a very common task for web2py apps.
I'm enjoying (slowly) learning web2py, it is a perfect solution for my web
application.
