I seem to have a problem there. It returns None.
However, I think I may have figured out a solution. I've managed to update
the current day 'rating' & 'complete' fields and also the 'complete' field
of the next day (making it current). Let me know if you see any problems
with the way I ended up doing this... Here is the code:
*Controller:*
def workouts():
r = db(db.workouts.complete == 1).select().first() #select
current day
form = SQLFORM(db.workouts, r, showid=False).process() #create
form to update 'rating'
if form.accepted:
r2 = db(db.workouts.complete == 2).select().first() #select
next day
r.update_record(complete=0) #update
current day
r2.update_record(complete=1) #update
next day
response.flash = 'record updated'
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
rows = db(db.workouts).select()
return locals()
As far as I can tell it seems to work how I want it to. You've been more
than helpful, Massimo. Thanks, again!
