Hello, just started using web2py a few days ago and liked it so here i am with my first app :)
so sorry if my question have been solved, i did a few searches a didn't find it. My problem: I want to get a string representation of a record of a table, this representation can be as easy as 1 field, or could be several fields formatted. In the db.define_table function, i included the format parameter setting the representation i want for the record, but i think i can only use it for select/option drop-downs and in reference fields on another table. Another way could be to define a virtual field with the format i want, so i can write row.personalized_virtual_field to get the string representation, and use format='% (personalized_virtual_field)s' to avoid repeating code (the definition of the format). Is this the way to do? or am i a bit lost and it could be done an easy way? Thank you.
