Thanks Anthony for your suggestion! Works just fine :)
For anyone looking at a similar problem, here's what I've done now.
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('appStart','datetime',label='App-Period Start Time'),
Field('appEnd','datetime',label='App-Period End Time'),
Field('nomStart','datetime',label='Nom-Period Start Time'),
Field('nomEnd','datetime',label='Nom-Period End Time')
)
if form.process().accepted:
app_msg_flash = 'Application Period Unchanged'
nom_msg_flash = 'Nomination Period Unchanged'
if form.vars.appStart:
if not form.vars.appEnd:
session.flash = 'Application Period End-Time not specified!'
redirect(URL('overall_admin','set_deadline'))
else:
db.AppDeadline.insert(start=form.vars.appStart,
end=form.vars.appEnd)
db.UserLogs.insert(activity='Application Period Set :
'+str(form.vars.appStart)+' to '+str(form.vars.appEnd))
app_msg_flash = 'Application Period Set :
'+str(form.vars.appStart)+' to '+str(form.vars.appEnd)
elif form.vars.appEnd:
session.flash = 'Application Period Start-Time not specified!'
redirect(URL('overall_admin','set_deadline'))
if form.vars.nomStart:
if not form.vars.nomEnd:
session.flash = 'Nomination Period End-Time not specified!'
redirect(URL('overall_admin','set_deadline'))
else:
db.NomDeadline.insert(start=form.vars.nomStart,
end=form.vars.nomEnd)
db.UserLogs.insert(activity='Nomination Period Set :
'+str(form.vars.nomStart)+' to '+str(form.vars.nomEnd))
nom_msg_flash = 'Nomination Period Set :
'+str(form.vars.nomStart)+' to '+str(form.vars.nomEnd)
elif form.vars.nomEnd:
session.flash = 'Nomination Period Start-Time not specified!'
redirect(URL('overall_admin','set_deadline'))
response.flash = DIV(app_msg_flash,BR(),nom_msg_flash)
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'Deadlines not Set : Form has error(s)!'
