Hello,
I am trying to cook up something with a list or tuples of images, but it
does not and cannot show up in the view within a form ...
( let me show some codes )
a basic model file
user_sex = [SPAN(IMG(_src=(URL('static','images/male_thumb.png')))),SPAN(IMG
(_src=(URL('static','images/female_thumb.png'))))]
db.define_table('test_user',
Field('my_name', type='string',
label=T('First Name')),
Field('sex',requires=IS_IN_SET(user_sex),label=T('My Sex is')))
from plugin_hradio_widget import hradio_widget
db.test_user.sex.widget = hradio_widget
As you see ...in the same model file, I have defined the user_sex
I have also used the hradio widget to have radio buttons instead of a
dropdown select list ...
Just for testing purposes ...
in the controller ... I have
def testpage():
form = SQLFORM(db.test_user)
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
session.flash = 'submitted %s' % form.vars
redirect(URL('index'))
return dict(form=form)
in the view testpage.html, I simply put in the usual expected {{=form}}
I did not get the images to select ... instead ... I get 2 strings as
written in the user_sex but no images !!??? ..
Can someone explain to me ... why do I think this should of worked ... and
if this can be done ... how ? ..
tell me what am i doing wrong ? ...
How can I provide a user a list of images to select from on a form ??? ...
I am very annoyed by this !! ...
Please advise me or show me what I have done wrong ? ...
thank you
Don
