Sorry for the "not working", I thought my mistake would be obvious. On the
console where i sent the post i got "Process finished with exit code 0" but
i could not see that anything was updated on the table.
Regarding your answer,
First line: does it mean that this "if" statement knows to search the
auth.user records till it finds a match? and what is the .count() for?
Second line:
t._filter_fields(**post_params)
Should work assuming the key on the url params matches exactly the field
name on the table?
(I tried earlier with the insert something like that as well :
return t.validate_and_insert( t.f_test= post_params.f_test, etc")
as well but I thought it was wrong in that context. The example on the book
wasn't clear to me. (return db.person.validate_and_insert(**fields) )
)
Thanks.
