Hello,
Is it intentional that when using SQLFORM, and custom views (with
form.custom.begin), that if i modify attributes after initial form
construction I have to update form.custom.begin myself?
here's my example:
form = SQLFORM(db.artwork, request.args[0], fields=fields,
upload=URL(r=request, c='gae', f='preview'))
if request.env.web2py_runtime_gae:
from google.appengine.ext import blobstore
upload_url =
blobstore.create_upload_url(URL(r=request,f='upload_art',
args=request.args,
vars={'redir':URL(r=request,c='account', f='index')}))
form['_action']=upload_url
(begin, end) = form._xml()
form.custom.begin = XML("<%s %s>" % (form.tag, begin))
note that if i don't update form.custom.begin myself it does not
include the '_action' attribute. In most cases you just initialize
the form with all the needed attributes, but in this case if i'm on
google app engine i need the upload field to post to another URL
(since i'm using blobstore), but if i'm not on GAE i can use the
regular action.
I suppose at this point the app only runs on GAE, so i can just skip
the if statement, but thought this might be a low-priority bug.
thanks,
christian
