I have a basic update form code that is called via a HREF form another
view and form a menu. The problem is the redirect to the referrer is
not working. I looked in the forums and have tried to debug. I
understand the form is posting back to itself which is why the form is
redirected to itself. The forums offer several solutions that depend
on a hidden form element embedded in the calling view which are save
as request.vars. I am not sure how to make this work with a menu. I
hope there is a clean elegant way to accomplish this. Any help would
be apprecaited..
@auth.requires_login()
def editmeeting():
if not request.args:
session.flash = 'Invalid parameter'
redirect(URL(r=request, c='default',
f='index'))
meeting = db(db.meeting.id == request.args(0)).select()
if len(meeting):
meeting = meeting[0]
else:
session.flash = 'Invalid meeting'
redirect(URL(r=request,c='default',f='index'))
form=SQLFORM(db.meeting,meeting, submit_button='Update Meeting')
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
redirect(request.env.http_referer)
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'Invalid data.'
return dict(form=form)
