Hello All,
I have these two tables
db.auth_user - which is the default table created for Auth
email, password, first name, last name
db.b
b0, b1, b2, b3
db.b.b0 foreign-key linked to db.auth_user.id
My requirement: Display only fields first name, last name, b2, b3. Updates
can only happen to these fields, and no other. I do not want the password,
or email fields to be displayed, because I want to use the default change
password form to change passwords.
I experimented with
form = SQLFORM.factory(db.auth_user, db.b)
if form.process().accepted:
id = db.auth_user.insert(**db.auth_user._filter_fields(form.vars)) #
this needs to be corrected to accept only first and last names.
form.vars.b = id
id = db.b.insert(**db.b._filter_fields(form.vars))
Wasn't sure how to explicitly restrict writes to certain fields, only for
this form. It is possible that these fields need to be updated from a
different form.
I had a look at this discussion on the forum, and it helped me understand
this a bit better, but not sure it helps my case:

Also, factory seems to create a SQLFORM which does not work with the
database(?). So, am not sure how to proceed on this one.
