Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for your help on my previous issues.
I am trying to create a global search form. I followed Massimo's
example on the social networking example to get a great form working.
I then embedded it in a model and posted the view into my common
layout. I followed the slice for the autocomplete widget as well.
However, everytime I submit a DIFFERENT form on the same page, it
posts an error.
I assume that somehow I need to get a form ID as SQLFORM uses. I tried
to create a sqlform.factory field, but I don't know how to set the
attributes _onkeyup and autocomplete in the form.
1.) If I make it a sqlform.factory form, will that fix the submission
problem?
2.) If not, any suggestions on how to do this correctly?
Here is my code in the model.
searchform=FORM(
INPUT(_type="text", _id="person", _name="person",
_onkeyup="getData(this.value);", autocomplete="off"),
INPUT(_type="submit", _value="Search"))
searchform['_action']=URL('people','search')
if searchform.accepts(request.vars):
tokens=searchform.vars.person.split()
query = reduce(lambda a,b:a&b,
[db.auth_user.first_name.contains(k)|
db.auth_user.last_name.contains(k) for k in tokens])
res_people=db(query).select()
else:
res_people=[]
