I have a form created with SQLFORM.factory containing a single field
addform = SQLFORM.factory(Field('item_cat'))
Is there a way to use the autocomplete widget. I have searched and
seen examples where I set the widget in the model, but do cannot find
an example of how to associate the autocomplete widget with a field
when using SQLFORM.factory.
I did get it to work in the model bu using something like the
following: db.itemcat.cat_ref.widget =
SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete(request, db.cat.name, id_field=db.cat.id)
I am sure someone has done this and very much would love to see an
example.
