I'm trying to make a "vote up" and "vote down" feature in my program, like
the one in reddit.com. But I've been receiving tickets from 2 different
errors. (I solved the first one but I want to
First, I received a "UnboundLocalError: local variable 'books' referenced
before assignment"
This was my code at the time when I had that error.

vars = request.post_vars
if vars and auth_user:
*id = vars.id*
direction = +1 if vars.direction == 'up' else -1
*books = db.books(id)*
if books:
votes = db.votes(post=id, created_by=auth.user.id)
if not votes:
books.update_record(vote_book=books.book_vote+direction)
db.votes.insert(post=id,score=direction)
elif votes.score!=direction:
books.update_record(vote_book=books.book_vote+direction)
votes.update_record(score=direction)

I "solved" the problem when I searched the internet and saw this
"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15217145/local-variable-author-referenced-before-assignment";.
I learned that I should transfer these lines:
*id = vars.id*
*books = db.books(id)*
outside of the loop. I did that so I'm not getting that error anymore.
Now, I'm getting another error when I transfered the two varianles outside
the loop. I tried looking for answers in the internet to no avail.
The error is: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'books' referenced before
assignment
*CONTROLLER: *
def vote_callback():
vars = request.post_vars
*id = vars.id*
* books = db.books(id)*
if vars and auth_user:
direction = +1 if vars.direction == 'up' else -1
if books:
votes = db.votes(post=id, created_by=auth.user.id)
if not votes:
books.update_record(vote_book=books.book_vote+direction)
db.votes.insert(post=id,score=direction)
elif votes.score!=direction:
books.update_record(vote_book=books.book_vote+direction)
votes.update_record(score=direction)
else:
pass
print books.book_vote
return str(books.book_vote)
*VIEW:*The same
*Model:*The same
P.S.
-I highlighted the relevant parts of the code.
-The View and the Model is working. I think the problem with the code is in
the controller.
-I'm trying to do this at 27:58
