I'm confused at how to implement automatic timestamps to tables.
So I want to know when each record was created (might have a separate
field for "last modified").
The form should either have an uneditable field with the current
timestamp xor—preferably—it shouldn't be present in the form.
Here's a test-case:
# Models
from datetime import datetime
db.define_table(
'sometb',
Field('name', requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'sometb.name')]),
Field('date_created', 'datetime', requires=datetime.now,
default=datetime.now),
format='%(name)s'
)
# Controllers
def sometb():
return dict(tbform=crud.create(db.group_of_events))
# Views
{{if 'tbform' in globals():}}
{{=tbform}}
{{else:}}
<h5>Form not found :[</h5>
{{pass}}
# {{pass}}!
Thanks for your time,
Alec Taylor
