[web2py] Re: Nested functions problem?

[annet]

I tried:

Controller:

def imagetext():
    id=request.args(0)
 
image=db((db.bedrijfimagelink.bedrijf_id==id).select(db.imagelink.link).first()
    text=db(db.hptext.bedrijf_id==id).select(db.hptext.tekst).first()
    return dict(image=image,text=text)

View:

<div id="component">
 
{{=LOAD('locator','imagetext.load',args=283,ajax=True,target='component')}}
</div>


and the second view locator/imagetext.load:


{{if image:}}
  <div id="banner" style="text-align:center; height: 120px;">
    {{=IMG(_src=URL('static','init/images/banners/%s' % image.link),
_width="696px", _height="120px")}}
  </div> <!-- banner -->
{{pass}}
{{if text:}}
  <div class="oneColLayout">
    <div style="margin: 24px 36px 0px 36px">
      {{=XML(text.tekst)}}
    </div> <!-- box -->
  </div> <!-- oneColLayout -->
{{pass}}


But the div displays Loading... instead of the text and the image.


I also tried:

Controller:

def businesscard():
    if not len(request.args):
        redirect(URL('default','error'))
    else:
        id=request.args(0)
        ...
 
functions=db(db.function.bedrijf_id==id).select(db.function.ALL).first()
        ...
        if functions.image:
 
image=db((db.bedrijfimagelink.bedrijf_id==id).select(db.imagelink.link).first()
        if functions.text:
 
text=db(db.hptext.bedrijf_id==id).select(db.hptext.tekst).first()
        ....
        return dict(..,image=image,text=text)


View:

<div id="component">
  {{if image:}}
    <div id="banner" style="text-align:center; height: 120px;">
      {{=IMG(_src=URL('static','init/images/banners/%s' % image.link),
_width="696px", _height="120px")}}
    </div> <!-- banner -->
  {{pass}}
  {{if text:}}
    <div class="oneColLayout">
      <div style="margin: 24px 36px 0px 36px">
        {{=XML(text.tekst)}}
      </div> <!-- box -->
    </div> <!-- oneColLayout -->
  {{pass}}
</div> <!-- component -->
...
<div id= "footer">
 
{{=A('Lesrooster',callback=URL('timetable','timetable',args=[company.id]),target='component')}}
</div> <!-- footer -->


Which generates the following link:

<a onclick="ajax('ini/timetable/timetable/283',[],'component');return
false;"href="#null">Lesrooster</a>


.. and address in the browser: 
http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/locator/businesscard/283#null


... but doesn;t work either.


The problem with Cliff's solution (and all the examples at w3c) is
that the image and text are part of the first page, I cannot have the
vistor click a button to display the image and text.


I hope there is a way to get this to work ..

Kind regards,

Annet.
