And furthering my example, in that very same view I have another table that
displays the same set of items in grid format. Note I included a counter "i"
and a "modulo 4" to insert a </tr><tr> to break it up into rows of 4
columns. Also note the logic that inserts a placeholder image if an image is
not present.
So it's not that there is no logic in the view, it's just keeping it sort of
minimal. Also, I expect to move the styles into css files at some point.
<table>
<tbody>
{{if len(items)==0:}}
<tr><td colspan=4 align=middle><br>No items</td></tr>
{{else:}}
<tr>
{{i=1}}
{{for item in items:}}
<td width="180">
<p>{{if len(item.image)==0:}}
{{=A(IMG(_src=URL('static','images/no-photo.png'), _width='160px'),
_href=URL(c='default', f='item', extension='', args=item.id, ))}}
{{else:}}
{{=A(IMG(_src=URL(c='default', f='download',
args=item.image), _width='160px'), _href=URL(c='default', f='item',
extension='', args=item.id))}}
{{pass}}</p>
<p style="min-height: 34px;">{{=A(item.title,
_href=URL(c='default', f='item', extension='', args=item.id))}}</p>
<p><table width="100%"><tr><td style="padding: 2px 0px
2px 2px;"><b>${{=item.current_price}}</b><br></td>
<td align=right style="padding: 2px 8px 2px
2px;">${{=item.last_price}} on {{=item.last_date}}</td></tr></table>
</td></p>
{{if i%4==0:}}
</tr>
<tr>
{{pass}}
{{i+=1}}
{{pass}}
</tr>
{{pass}}
</tbody>
</table>
