See below, I hope it will point you in the right direction: mygroupdict = {1:'Public',2:'Private',3:'Admin'} db.auth_membership.group_id.requires = IS_IN_SET(mygroupdict,zero=None)) db.auth_membership.group_id.represent = lambda group_id, row: mygroupdict[ group_id] -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
