Here is something very basic:
db.define_table('message',
Field('for_user','reference_user'),
Field('body'),
auth.signature)
@auth.requires_login()
def post_message():
user_id = request.args(0,cast=int)
db.message.for_user.default = user_id
db.message.for_user.readable = db.message.for_user.writable=False
form = SQLFORM(db.message).process()
return locals()
@auth.requires_login()
def messages_for_me():
grid =
SQLFORM.grid(db.message.for_user==auth.user.id,editable=False,create=False)
return locals()
