I created a website that you could post items and I'm having a lot of
problem trying to figure out how to make a dropdown menu that can filter
those posts. What I'm trying to do is that when you make a post, you can
only pick from the 4 categories. Then in the main page, you will have a
drop down box where you can select one of those keywords and it will filter
out all the posts so that only the posts with that select keyword will
show.
In my db.py I made
post_categories= ['Food', 'Games, 'Hobbies', 'Toys']
db.define_table('posts',
Field('title', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('price'),
Field('category', requires=IS_IN_SET(post_categories)),
auth.signature)
In my view index.html
I have
<select id="post_categories">
<option value='0'>(Select Category)</option>
</select>
I was wondering why on my page, the 4 keywords aren't showing up in the
drop down box?
Also, I heard you can use a form tag(not sure how to work this) to sent the
data to another view ("filterCategory").
I'm not sure how to even get this to work. I spent almost a week looking up
solutions, but got no where...
Any help will be great!!
Thank you
