Hi Matt,
I'm no expert (only discovered the wonders of the grid in the last couple
of weeks) and maybe others
will have a better way but I have tested this and it might get you going...
(Also you might want to give a little more information on the
requirements...
Where have you got to?
Do the reports require further interaction/parameters when selected?
Have you developed the reports themselves?)
# So as far as I understand it, the grid requires a table (or possibly a
dummy table? I went with a real one)
db.define_table('reports',
Field('report_name',),
Field('report_function',)
)
and added two records...
1, Activities Report, csv_activities
2, Companies Report, csv_companies
The report_functions should point to valid report functions/views
that you have created (I can provide some info on this if needed)
def output_reports():
print "output reports: received vars %s" % request.vars
for record_id in request.vars.id:
print "run report %s" % db.reports[record_id].report_function
redirect(URL('report_factory',[]))
def report_factory():
query = db.reports.id > 0
fields = (db.reports.id, db.reports.report_name)
grid = SQLFORM.grid(query,
field_id= db.reports.id,
fields=fields,
searchable=False,
create=False,
selectable=lambda ids: redirect(URL('default',
'output_reports', vars=dict(id=ids))),
editable=False,
deletable=False,
details=False,
buttons_placement='right',
csv=False
)
return dict(grid=grid)
The print output below shows what is happening and simulates 'running
report/s'
after selecting each report separately and then the two together
output reports: received vars <Storage {'id': '1'}>
run report csv_activities
output reports: received vars <Storage {'id': '2'}>
run report csv_companies
output reports: received vars <Storage {'id': ['1', '2']}>
run report csv_activities
run report csv_companies
Hope this helps!
Peter
