Re: [web2py] Re: Extracting row id from url using request.args
Wow Cliff thank you for this superb bit of info. Like all the best problems
it seems glaringly obvious to me now.
Thank you everyone for your help.

And you can treat request.args as a list, so the ID of the record being
edited is request.args[-1], or so it seems to me.

I looked into fetching it using similar code to your link function but it
seems you can only request the id of the current record using
db.t_contact.id from within the parameters of your SQLFORM.smartgrid
request.
Its a dirty hack but it seems to work.

Here is an example of code I am using where 'auid' represents the id of
the author record:
links = [lambda row: (A(B(T('Edit')), _target = _blank,
_href = URL(r = request,
** c = 'authors',
** f = 'edit_author',
** vars = dict(auid = str(row[
db.akb_authors.id]**)]
query = ...
fields = [list of fields]
I then call the grid with SQLFORM.grid(query, fields=fields, links=links)

[web2py] Re: Extracting row id from url using request.args
If you cannot control the order of args, you could still look for an int,
but that may not always be reliable. I sometimes decide to use vars
instead. Then you know exactly what you have: your/url/here?id=1234
Construction of the url is easy using the URL helper.

am struggling to extract the row id for the contact in order to pull up

The following is the URL I get when viewing a contact with the id 11:
27.0.01:8000/MYDB/default/contact_manage/t_contact/t_membership.f_contact_id/11/view/t_membership/11
On this particular url I can get the id using:

However the postion of the id is not the same on every page for example
when I view another contact (12) I get this URL:
http://127.0.01:8000/ILSPA_DB2/default/contact_manage/t_contact/view/t_contact/12
The argument with the position 2 is t_contact not 12.
Is there some voodoo I can use to get the id of the entry in order to use
it to pull up data from other tables?
FYI I have included a snippet from the controller and corresponding view.

Hi Villas
I like the idea of getting the ID from a var instead of args, however I am
still not sure how to go about getting the ID of the current record I am
viewing/editing in smartgrid.
Forgive my noobishness.
