Here is a sample I did when I found some OLD web2py forums. I tested with a dictionary then with a "in" DB .. In controller/default.py:
def company_login(): # Read the company file into a dictionary company = db(db.company).select(db.company.company_number,db.company.company_name,orderby=db.company.company_name) # Create a form using the sets form = SQLFORM.factory( Field('username', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), Field('password', 'password', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), Field('Company', requires=IS_IN_DB(db,db.company.company_number,'%(company_name)s'))) # Field('Company', requires=IS_IN_SET(company))) # Note: IS_IN_SET is fugly, anyone know a way to "format" it for display? if form.process().accepted: # redirect(URL('index')) response.flash = 'form accepted' elif form.errors: response.flash = T('form has errors') return dict(form=form) In views/default/company_login.html : {{extend 'layout.html'}} {{=form}} ------------------------------------------------- Ok, my NEXT questions along this thread: I need to display the values returned from the sqlform, any ideas on this ? thanks .. *Ben Duncan* DBA / Chief Software Architect Mississippi State Supreme Court Electronic Filing Division On Tue, Dec 4, 2018 at 9:08 AM sandeep patel <patelsandeep...@gmail.com> wrote: > @Arindam: Try the following code instead > > def test(): > form = FORM(LABEL("File(s):"), INPUT(_name='pic_upload', _type='file', > _multiple=''), > BR(), LABEL("Comments:"), INPUT(_name='comments'), > BR(), LABEL("Print Size:"), INPUT(_name='print_size'), > BR(), LABEL("copies:"), INPUT(_name='copies')) > form.append(XML('<br><input list="names" name="names"><datalist > id="names"><option value="Matte"><option value="Glossy"></datalist><br>')) > form.append(XML('<button type="submit">submit</button>')) > > return locals() > > Hope this works for you > > Thanks > SP > > On Tue, Dec 4, 2018 at 8:02 PM Lovedie JC <lbjc1...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I have done something like that.
