In the controller I have the code:
form = SQLFORM(db.plugin)
#sets a non-editable form value to an editable form value. There
is then a DB validator which converts it into a proper slug
form.vars.slug = form.vars.name
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
My problem is that I want to alter data that has been submitted by the
form before it is saved into the database. If I do what I have done
above, then it errors out if the form hasn't been submitted. I
understand that form.accepts() essentially checks if the form has been
submitted, then validates the data and then saves the data, all
without being interrupted. Coming from Django I'm used to:
if the form has been submitted:
if the form is valid:
save the form()
Which leaves many stages at which to validate data. Has anyone come
across this problem before? What were your solutions?
Thanks alot.
