Hello Clinton.
You never redo the source of pages.
Say you want to create a page to edit "thing".
You edit models/db.py file and append:
db.define_table('thing',Field('name',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())
Then you edit controllers/default.py and you add:
def manage_things(): return dict(grid=SQLFORM.grid(db.thing))
then you visit
http://pydev.allgamer.net/panel/default/<http://pydev.allgamer.net/panel/default/login>
manage_things
