This may also help... we did this in interestid.com when creating an event.
@auth.requires_login()
def create_event():
'''
NOTES:
* new_event_form
'''
from plugin_StepyForm import StepyForm
steps = [
dict(title="Step 1", legend="First step", fields =
db.event.fields[:5]),
dict(title="Step 2", legend="Second step", fields =
db.event.fields[5:10]),
dict(title="Step 3", legend="Third step", fields =
db.event.fields[10:15]),
dict(title="Step 4", legend="Fourth step", fields =
db.event.fields[15:20]),
dict(title="Step 5", legend="Fifth step", fields =
db.event.fields[20:])
]
form = StepyForm(db.event).process(steps)
if form.accepted:
db.event_attender.insert(event = form.vars.id,
role = "organizer")
redirect(URL('event','administer_event', args=form.vars.id))
return dict(form = form)
