Jim,
I've been curious about this myself. Here is what I discovered.
Tested on 1.99.2. Should be adaptable to a custom form.
Obviously one would want something more sophisticated than a string
for the key value in a real app.
from controllers/dogs.py, for grid:
def index():
grid = SQLFORM.grid(db.dogs)
if len(request.args)>1 and request.args[-2] =='new':
if grid[1].process().accepted:
key='mykey'
session.auth.hmac_key = key
the_id = grid[1].vars.id
redirect(URL('index', args=('edit', 'dogs', the_id),
hmac_key=key))
return dict(form=grid)
for smartgrid:
def index():
grid = SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.dogs)
if len(request.args)>1 and request.args[-2] =='new':
if grid[2].process().accepted:
key='mykey'
session.auth.hmac_key = key
the_id = grid[2].vars.id
redirect(URL('index', args=('dogs','edit', 'dogs',
the_id), hmac_key=key))
return dict(form=grid)
