[web2py] keepvalues - need help with this
Hello All, The *design *is: I have a custom form with the a controller that inserts/updates a table. Tthe form accepts data, and on successful submission of this form, it stays on the same page (there are no redirects to another page or form) *Issue*: The problem am seeing is, when I update values in the form, and submit it, the entered values are lost when the form returns because of successful submit, or due to errors. I have tried to use keepvalues=True in the form.accepts() and form.process() methods. No luck. Details below. Since the page am building has specific design needs, I went with the option of a custom form, where I used the form.custom.* options quite a bit. Therefore input fields in the form look like this https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/keepvalues$20on$20validate/web2py/MNEYo96Shzg/jjKZaMmfAgQJ -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

[web2py] R/W restrictions specific to a form
Hello All, I have these two tables db.auth_user - which is the default table created for Auth email, password, first name, last name db.b b0, b1, b2, b3 db.b.b0 foreign-key linked to db.auth_user.id My requirement: Display only fields first name, last name, b2, b3. Updates can only happen to these fields, and no other. I do not want the password, or email fields to be displayed, because I want to use the default change password form to change passwords. I experimented with form = SQLFORM.factory(db.auth_user, db.b) if form.process().accepted: id = db.auth_user.insert(**db.auth_user._filter_fields(form.vars)) # this needs to be corrected to accept only first and last names. form.vars.b = id id = db.b.insert(**db.b._filter_fields(form.vars)) Wasn't sure how to explicitly restrict writes to certain fields, only for this form. It is possible that these fields need to be updated from a different form. I had a look at this discussion on the forum, and it helped me understand this a bit better, but not sure it helps my case: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/qd6blGfnVTA Also, factory seems to create a SQLFORM which does not work with the database(?). So, am not sure how to proceed on this one.
