Thanks Anthony for stepping up.
I have a views file, it has quite a chunk of html in it. If I could put it
in the controller, I would, but it's quite hefty.
I have about 15 fields, displayed via SQLFORM, just a simple
form = SQLFORM(db.table)
I want to insert a {{include html_file}} in the middle, and I've tried
form[0].insert(7,'{{include "template.html"}}')
but of course it didn't work out (it just printed the string in the correct
place).
I have two choices from what I can tell,
1 - to manually code each field in views
2 - find a way to insert the html template file (hence my question here)
Please let me know if it would be worth the effort (as I can tell from your
reply, it may get messy), or I should just hand code the fields.
Or perhaps, is there a way to "unload" the fields manually, like
for field in form:
print field #I can find some way to do this 7 times,use the include,then
"unload" the rest of the fields
Thanks!
