I managed to go to the basics and got some progress:
def searches():
form = FORM(INPUT(_name='message'), INPUT(_type='submit'))
code = request.vars.message
return dict(code=code)
view:
<form enctype = "multipart/form-data" action = "{{= URL()}}" method =
"post" class="hidden">
<select data-conv-question="Hello! I'm
a bot created from a HTML form. Can I show you some features? (this
question comes from a select)">
<option value="yes">Yes</option>
<option value="sure">Sure!</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="message"
data-conv-question="Alright! First, type one word e.g. 'exercise', or ask a
question.|Okay! you can type one word e.g. 'Soy', or ask a question.">
<input type="text"
data-conv-question="{{=code}}" data-no-answer="true">
</form>
However, as a test, when retrieving data to controller, the request.vars
does not give me the immediate user posted data, instead the previous data
posted. For example, if the user posts 'abcd', with the previous post
having been '1234', I'll get '1234' returned and not 'abcd'.
Is there a way of cleaning up request.vars and getting the CURRENT posted
data?
Thanks for the help, God bless!
