The string interpolation here: redirect(URL(c='articles',f='show?id=%s%id'))
is not being performed, so the controller gets ...%s%id as raw string, and the id argument should evaluate to an integer to return a db record. So i think that the part of the code that has to replace the string in the f parameter is missing or is prevented to run by other instruction. Instead, this should work: redirect(URL(c='articles',f='show?id=%s' % myid)) where the expression int(myid) evaluates to an int object On 12 feb, 08:04, Praveen Bhat <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am getting the following error: > > <type 'exceptions.ValueError'> invalid literal for int() with base 10: > '%s%id' > > and the code in my controller is: > > def show(): > redirect(URL(c='articles',f='show?id=%s%id')) > > which redirects to the following function in articles controller: > > def show(): > id=request.vars.id > articles=db(db.article.id==id).select() > if not len(articles): redirect(URL('articles')) > return dict(article=articles[0]) > > Could someone help me out? > > Regards > Praveen
