Thanks Anthony for your explanation of request.args use with smartgrid, I
tried your suggestion, but had the same error. I think i made a mistake in
the constraints in my earlier post (according to the documentation,
constraints is a dict of tablename:query), here is what i have changed.
invoice_grid = SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.invoice, args=request.args[:1],
constraints=dict(invoice=invoice_query),
linked_tables=dict(invoice=['item'], item=[]))
Noted that i could select a set of invoices based on the customer_id I
passed in through request.args(0), the only thing it broke was when I
clicked on the linked_tables "Items" with error Query Not Supported:
invalid literal for long() with base 10: 'item'.
I have been stuck here for a few days, any further help is much
appreciated.
