I think I've found the answer in onvalidate, but would like some
clarification. In the manual, is the followiong code:
db.define_table('numbers',
Field('a', 'integer'),
Field('b', 'integer'),
Field('c', 'integer', readable=False, writable=False))
def my_form_processing(form):
c = form.vars.a * form.vars.b
if c < 0:
form.errors.b = 'a*b cannot be negative'
else:
form.vars.c = c
def insert_numbers():
form = SQLFORM(db.numbers)
if form.accepts(request.vars, session,
onvalidation=my_form_processing)
session.flash = 'record inserted'
redirect(request.url)
return dict(form=form)
Does the 'my_form_processing' function go in the model or the
controller?
