Ah, I see. Is there a way to leverage the representations defined in SQLFORM.factory for this? SQLFORM.factory worked to a certain degree for my needs, but it also did not give me much freedom to design the view the way I wanted. Instead, I've ended up creating this "model" with the fields that I want, and I'm placing them one by one in the view. The actual "widgets" that were rendered by SQLFORM.factory were just fine - so can I use those somehow?
