equipment is the table.
the equipment details page is 'show' or 'details'. In reality, I thought I
could get away with the default 'view' from sqlform.grid, using a
slug...but it appears I cannot, so I have to create a custom 'show' or
'details' page. If I do
links = [lambda row: A('Details',_href=URL('show','show',
args=[row.slug]))]
i get a key error.
show and show being the html page and the controller...
My apologize in advanced if I am making this more confusing than it needs
to be. The help truly is greatly appreciated. I am essentially moving my
whole entire online business on to web2py from an old modified shopping
cart...so far I have the minimal but it way better and more simple using
web2py
