Yes, I will post my main utils.py when I have it working better. I still have to clean up a couple pieces. It would be up to Massimo if he wanted to add it. But in response to one of my earlier questions I was told Massimo kept a utility like this out of py4web so people might use better tools like datatables. And, I doubt my code is 'framework-ready'. But it could give others insight into how you can work with py4web.
Speaking of datatables, I wrote a datatables integration for web2py last summer. I think I could also add that to my utils.py pretty easily. Actually, the datatables piece would be easier that what I've done writing my own. Would you use datatables for complete CRUD, or just to list your table for record selection, etc.? Now that you mentioned mtable, I too recall hearing that before, but haven't gotten in to it at all. Like I said, I haven't jumped in to the client-side javascript much yet, other than jquery. -Jim On Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 4:31:11 PM UTC-6, Kevin Keller wrote: > > Jim, > > Could your helpers be considered to be added to thr py4web code base? > > If you say you have a sqlform.grid equivalent or something in that > direction? > > I think there was mtable that should take the spot, but haven't seen any > examples yet or at least none thst would replace a sqlform or smartgrid. > > If it is not coming I would probaly consider using datatables js in the > future. > > > > > On Wed, 22 Jan 2020, 21:47 Jim S, <ato....@gmail.com <javascript:>> wrote: > >> For me, there is no porting, it is re-writing.
