ok, i got lucky. this seems to work perfectly:
db((tUser.id==auth.user.id) | (tUser.id==None)).select(tCmp.ALL, orderby=tCmp.company_name, left=tUser.on((tCmp.id==tUser.firm_id))) but honestly, i have no idea why it works. can someone explain this to me? it is almost like the left condition, without the db(), pulls all companies regardless whether there is a user affiliation or not, the the db() section filters that further. is that logic correct or not? lucas -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
