Hello Anthony,
I know that, I just forget to take it in consideration in my example I
guess...
What I want to do is to create a batch insert form for a table a kind of
inline edition but for insert data into database... So I would have many
rows in a html table that will contains the fields a given table and only
one submit button.
I can build my form like this :
inputs = []
for i in range(0,10):
inputs.append(Field('field1'+'_%s' %str(i), 'type...', ...))
inputs.append(Field('field2'+'_%s' %str(i), 'type...', ...))
form = SQLFORM.factory(*inputs)
That way I get unique distinct inputs fields.
Then with custom form I can esealy build html table in view...
But what I would like to avoid is to have 2 instances for field definition
: one in model and one in the batch insert function because it seems to me
that I can't get the field definition propertieds from model...
I would like to know if I could get field properties from model something
like that :
inputs = []
for i in range(0,10):
inputs.append(Field(db.table1.field1.name+'_%s' %str(i),
db.table1.field1.type, ...)
...
Thanks
Richard
