[web2py] Re: SQLFORM.grid to update page
Yes, REST is definitely simpler. I'm not too familiar with JavaScript.
Let me explain what I'm trying to do...
I have two SQLFORM.grids on the same page. The user clicks on one row of
one grid to add that row to the other grid. A simple enough application
pattern.
Just like when you click on delete to delete a row from a grid and the
grid automatically updates on the page, I want something similar to occur
here.
Now, this works fine as far as it goes using links and REST. However, if
the first grid has pagination and you're on, say, the third page, I'd like
to preserve my place (ie, stay on page 3) when the page is updated. It's
not a big deal, I guess. The user will have to manually go back to where he
was before.

via a URL (which I think is known as the REST method), or use AJAX to
fetch data from the server (and then use javascript to update part of the
page).
the links method that you have above is a REST approach. It has to
create a request and a page reload, that's the way it works. Using AJAX is
easy with web2py, see the chapter on AJAX and perhaps the following chapter
on components.
In this case the action on your link can not be a URL since this makes a
request page load. You would execute javascript instead.
REST is simpler I think. AJAX is a smoother user experience (there is no
page reload, for example).

But this means a new request in the Add function. I really should execute
a function *in-place* on the current webpage. How do I do that?
Thanks.

[web2py] Re: SQLFORM.grid to update page
I think there's a warning in the book against two grids on the same page. I've never tried it due to the warning, but state of the grid is maintained via data passed back in the request. I think the grid code assumes that any grid state data passed back applies to it, so two grids may both assume they are the target of state information actually sourced from only one grid when it POSTs back updated state. Likely to be very confusing. Using components (LOAD) should work around that. Your application platform still needs to address the problem of communicating with the server. You either round trip with REST, which means page reloads, or you use javascript to get part of the page to reload (e.g. LOAD, see chapter on components, it's pretty clever) or you can use full AJAX. Using LOAD may mean a bit of javascript, mainly so that your LINK button requests the LOADed component to reload. It's a common use-case in web2py and you'll easily get help here. I think the book documentation is reasonably good. -- 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] Re: SQLFORM.grid to update page
Two grids in the same page are definitively not allowed unless loaded via Ajax. That is because they use the URL to transfer grid parameters and if you have two it is not clear which one applies to.
