[web2py] new feature - need help
There is a new feature in trunk. When you make a searchable grid, it will now show a button before the search input field. It says "Query". Hover over it and it will create a popup menu so that you can build the query with the mouse. It works but the css is horrible and I could use some help fixing it. The code is generated by a single function in sqlhtml.py build_search() Massimo

A la Access?! Great... I will try to give a ride to the new smartgrid to see that... Do you have a test app or do the code you publish earlier to try the new smartgrid enable automatically the searhcable function?... I try anyway.

Ok, not exactly a la access... Pretty good I notice this : "=" create : "name = 'something'" should be "name == 'something'" I don't think about to much about the background complexity of what you try to achieve, but I don't understand why menu is an appropriate way to display this query building thing.

I just think for 2 min about it... A popup grid seems to me the appropriate display for this query builder... Grid : Field to search Wich type of constrainer Searched value Add createria button Drop box =, <, >, etc. User input + button New row Maybe a 'AND' or 'OR' is needed for createria (between line) Maybe the table should just add a column at the begining when more then one creteria is entered user has to specify the AND or OR... So... AND/ORField to search Wich type of constrainer Searched value Add createria button Drop box =, <, >, etc. User input + button DropboxNew row Query completed (button) What about that?! jQuery UI dialog Richard On Thu, Oct 6, 2011 at 3:17 PM, Richard Vézina wrote: > Ok, not exactly a la access...
