Dear Everyone, I am still plugging away on web2py and loving it more and more the better I understand python.
I have a page where a large list is generated from a database query. Next to each item from the list, I would like to put the ability to add a comment. I did this statically by creating X number of forms for X number of list items displayed on the page, so I know the concept is possible. Now, I want to make it dynamic. I searched this group, and all over the web for "dynamic form web2py", "multiple form web2py", etc. and all iterations thereof. I did find these threads: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/1f577d46bd535433 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/nE_-yhDG-3o The second one seemed closer to what I'm trying to do, but for now, my problem is much simpler. I have one table, one query, and just a variable number of fields. I tried every syntax I could muster blindly trying to pass in a list of fields to SQLFORM or SQLFORM.factory. Below is my code, chopped of the unimportant bits for clarity: def multi_comment(): records=db(myquery).select() fields=[] counter=1 for i in records: fields.append(Field('note','text')) fields.append(Field('div_id', default=str(counter))) counter=counter+1 pass form=SQLFORM.factory(*fields) return dict(form=form, fields=fields) I am getting only one field in my form with a div_id of 1. I know there has to be a simple way to do this, I am just not skilled enough to do it. Any suggestions? Also, any help with implementing the db insert after the form has been processed would be wonderful! Thank you in advance!
