I'm sure I'm missing something, but I keep reading over the
documentation and I don't see how to easily display the readable,
writable fields of the current user's table record(s) as pre-formated,
non-form data. It seems like there would be an easy way to display a
record as a table or div or list, similar to how forms are displayed
with SQLFORM but without the form elements. The closest I can find is
to use SQLFORM and readonly=True, and then pre-populate each field
manually, setting each form.var using a db query.
Is there an easy way to do this? Is there not a "pre-populate=True"
argument for SQLFORM or something? I'm probably missing something
obvious.
To be clear, I'm not simply asking how to display some field pulled
from the db -- there are multiple easy ways to do that. I'm asking if
there is a way to display all the fields of a record and display them
in a pre-formatted manner -- one that is as simple and quick as using
form=SQLFORM(db.foo) and {{=form}} when I create a form.
Is there a short, easy way to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
