Thanks for your help LightDot. It's nice to be pointed in direction after
several days of getting nothing done.
One question on hidden fields that I'm missing -- as I have everything
working except for hiding the field from the user.
<Model>
db.define_table('table',
Field('field_hidden', 'string'),
Field('field_not_hidden', 'string'))
<Controller>
grid = SQLGRID
If request.args(0) in ['new]:
response.view = 'default/custom_edit.html'
form = SQLFORM(db.table, hidden={'field_hidden':0})
forms.vars.field_hidden = request.vars.field_hidden
if form.process(onvalidation=form_validation).accepted:
redirect to appropriate page
def form_validation(form):
modify form.vars as needed
form.accepted = True
Everything works except I am unable to hide the field 'field_hidden' on the
customer SQLFORM with the hidden attribute (hidden={'field_hidden':0}). The
field is just shown as normal. Triple checked the field spelling, etc.
If I use db.table.field_hidden.readable, .writable = False, it is not
shown, but I am then unable to change the field values in the
form_validation function...
Not sure what I'm missing with the hidden syntax.... Any help is
appreciated.
