Almost straight from the book but using my own db fields - tested and
works...
This controller in default.py
def from_factory():
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('your_name', requires =
IS_IN_DB(db,db.person.id,'%(first_name)s')))
if form.process().accepted:
response.flash = 'form accepted'
session.your_name = form.vars.your_name
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
return dict(form=form)
with this view 'from_factory.html'
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=form}}
gives a drop down list of person's first_names.
The selected name is now held in the cookie 'session.your _name'
but if you want the table id then,
replace... session.your_name = form.vars.your_name
with something like ... session.person_id = form.vars.id
Hope this helps.
Peter
