Hello (and Happy Thanksgiving)
I've walked through the tutorials about creating a simple model (db table)
then using the controller and view to automatically generate forms with
validation. They are GREAT!
My problem is when I tried to modify the form.
For example, I created a simple model that stores timecard related data.
db.define_table(
'time_record',
Field('firstName',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY() ),
Field('lastName',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY() ),
Field('userId',requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY() ),
Field('clientCode', requires = IS_INT_IN_RANGE(10,20) ),
Field('dateOfWork', type='date', requires = IS_DATE() ),
Field('hours', requires = IS_FLOAT_IN_RANGE(0.1,16.0) )
)
Next, I build the controller:
def create_time_record():
return dict(form=crud.update(db.time_record,request.args(0)))
Next, I have the view:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{ = form }}
Instead of the user entering the data in the form, I want to set one of the
form fields to be invisible (or disabled) and automatically get its values
from the session object from the log in, for
example, session.auth.user.first_name. I can easily display auth data (id,
first_name, last_name) but I cannot set this data into the form.
{{ = form }} is so simple and powerful, yet how to I access a specific form
element, set its value, and not affect the overall form validation process.
Thank You All!
Terry
