[web2py] Re: Menus in the model don't update at the right time...

2011-04-27 Thread ron_m 
The web2py request work flow runs the model files first, then the 
controller, then renders the view. I had a similar problem, the only way I 
could figure out how to change the menu after the model files have run was 
to add a menu update function to the model and call it from the controller 
when necessary.

 It's a bummer, but I currently have to refresh the page after adding an 
 item to the menus with a database insert.
 Is there any way I can have the menu's refresh manually before any page 
 rendered?

 
Maybe put a menu update function in a model file and then call it from your 
layout.html view. Or perhaps you could turn the menu into a component and 
insert it via LOAD (with our without Ajax).
