sorry to be so late ....
if you have {{=URL('tree','stree','index')}} anywhere in the view it gets
translated to:
/appname/tree/stree/index
Now, if you check your source, you should see it.
So, try to "hardcode" that url without using {{=URL()}} syntax and check if
your javascript is working.
Actually, it won't :P. No fault from web2py side, but from the javascript
one....
bind("select_node.jstree", function (event, data) { "xxx" } is a function
where you have to "decode" data to something useful....
as you said, data.rslt.obj.attr("id") contains the id value of the selected
item.
If you want to pass that to /appname/tree/stree/index, you need to "append"
that to the url.....
Prepare the index() function as :
def index():
record_id = request.args(0)
.......
return dict(form=form)
so the form returns the form for the correct record if called as
/appname/tree/stree/index/the_actual_selected_id
Then, you must "prepare" a div into the page where you want the form to be
loaded, as
<div id="theformdiv"></div>
This is merely a placeholder, you can put it where you want, as long as it
is in the same page where the tree is loaded, and where you can then put
the following javascript snippet
bind("select_node.jstree", function (event, data) {
var baseurl = "{{=URL('tree', 'stree', 'index', extension='load')}}" +
"/" + data.rslt.obj.attr("id");
web2py_component(baseurl, 'theformdiv');
}
the "web2py_component" part calls the
/appname/tree/stree/index/theselectedid with ajax and place the obtained
result into the div with id = #theformdiv
