Hello All,
The *design *is: I have a custom form with the a controller that
inserts/updates a table. Tthe form accepts data, and on successful
submission of this form, it stays on the same page (there are no redirects
to another page or form)
*Issue*: The problem am seeing is, when I update values in the form, and
submit it, the entered values are lost when the form returns because of
successful submit, or due to errors. I have tried to use keepvalues=True in
the form.accepts() and form.process() methods. No luck.
Details below.
Since the page am building has specific design needs, I went with the
option of a custom form, where I used the form.custom.* options quite a
bit. Therefore input fields in the form look like this
<input type="text" class="form-control
{{if form.errors.country:}}invalidinput{{pass}}"
id="country" name="country"
value="{{=form.custom.inpval['country']}}"
placeholder="{{=form.custom.comment['country']}}"
Also the controller is coded as below
x = db(db.x.x_id == auth.user.id).select().first()
if x:
form = SQLFORM(db.x, record=x)
else:
form = SQLFORM(db.x)
pass
# process the form
if form.accepts(request.vars, formname='basicinfo_form', keepvalues=True
):
response.flash = 'Basic Information updated successfully.'
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'The submitted form contains errors. The fields in
error are highlighted below.'
else:
response.flash = 'Please fill the form.'
pass
return dict(form=form)
I was thinking that maybe I should capture the request.vars and send it
back to the view alongwith the form.
If the request.vars.country value exists, then I use that, instead of the
form.custom.inpval['country']. This only makes the view code a bit more
verbose, but if it solves the problem, then nothing like it.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to sort this out?
Thank you,
Kiran
P.S: I did take a look at all the conversations in the forum about
keepvalues. None of them seemed to help me. Though I did find this one to
be interesting and am curious if this is sorted out already:
