You guys all rock hah.
I got the form working as I want it to. I'm gonna try putting in the
compute argument in my model tomorrow but for now I have the form working
with the following code:
new controller:
moment.py:
import re
def form():
## TODO: Get db.moment.type set to best or worst depending
## on frequency of word used. (this is best in controller or view?)
form = SQLFORM(db.moment)
try:
db.moment.user_id.default = auth.user.id
except:
pass
if 'type' in request.vars:
bestCount = re.findall('best', request.vars.content.lower())
bestCount = bestCount.count('best')
worstCount = re.findall('worst', request.vars.content.lower())
worstCount = worstCount.count('worst')
if bestCount > worstCount:
request.vars.type = 'best'
elif worstCount > bestCount:
request.vars.type = 'worst'
if form.accepts(request.vars, formname='moment_submit_form'):
response.flash = 'form accepted'
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
return dict(form=form)
new view,
views/moment/form.html
{{if auth.is_logged_in():}}
<form method="post" id="submitMoment">
<textarea class="text" cols="40" id="moment_content" name="content"
rows="10"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" id="submitMomentType" name="type" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="moment_submit_form" />
</form>
{{else:}}
Sign in to play!
{{pass}}
and then put in my
views/layout.html to show the form:
{{=LOAD('moment', 'form.html')}}
One thing that's no longer working is flashing the error or accept messages,
but at least functionally it's working. I don't think it's the prettiest
code but let me know if you have any suggestions please!
