[web2py] Re: Update on multiple tables with one form
I've tried the Anthony's idea and it worked, with one difference, though: the id could not be any value. It just worked putting the id with the same value of request.arg(0). I think that has some relation with the hidden input in custom forms where you have to put the id of the instance that are going to be updated. But it worked like a charm. :) On Tuesday, January 29, 2013 6:24:53 AM UTC-3, AngeloC wrote: Hi guys, I'm looking for a clean way to make an update on mutiple tables with only one form and cannot find anything clean/simple searching the mailing list.

[web2py] Re: Update on multiple tables with one form
Hi guys, sorry about reopen this conversation, but I got stuck in a similar situation. My code is almost equal to Annet's code, except that I'm using a custom form and I have to pass session=None and formname to form.process(). However, I have a field that has to be unique. So, form.process() does not accept the validation because the field value is already in db. But, this is not the expected behavior for a update form. How can I solve this situation?

[web2py] Re: Update on multiple tables with one form
I solved a similar problem the following way: # retrieve records node=db(db.node.id==id).select(db.node.ALL).first() address=db(db.address.nodeID==id).select(db.address.ALL).first() telecom=db(db.telecom.nodeID==id).select(db.telecom.ALL).first() # build form form=SQLFORM.factory(db.node,db.address,db.telecom) # prepopulate the form form.vars.field1=node.field1 ... form.vars.field5=address.field5 ... form.vars.field9=telecom.field9 # process form if form.process().accepted: node.update_record(**db.node._filter_fields(form.vars) address.update_record(**db.address._filter_fields(form.vars) telecom.update_record(**db.telecom._filter_fields(form.vars) I hope this helps you solve the problem.

Re: [web2py] Re: Update on multiple tables with one form
Hi Annet! This is freaking awesome and it worked like a charm! I found a way to add automatically variables to form.vars, hope this helps! record = db(...).select().first() for table in [db.table1, db.table2]: for field in table.fields: form.vars[field] = record[table][field] 2013/1/29 Annet anneve...@googlemail.com I solved a similar problem the following way: # retrieve records node=db(db.node.id==id).select(db.node.ALL).first() address=db(db.address.nodeID==id).select(db.address.ALL).first() telecom=db(db.telecom.nodeID==id).select(db.telecom.ALL).first() # build form form=SQLFORM.factory(db.node,db.address,db.telecom) # prepopulate the form form.vars.field1=node.field1 ... form.vars.field5=address.field5 ... form.vars.field9=telecom.field9 # process form if form.process().accepted: node.update_record(**db.node._filter_fields(form.vars) address.update_record(**db.address._filter_fields(form.vars) telecom.update_record(**db.telecom._filter_fields(form.vars) I hope this helps you solve the problem.

Re: [web2py] Re: Update on multiple tables with one form
Hi Angelo, I am glad you solved your problem. I found a way to add automatically variables to form.vars, hope this helps! record = db(...).select().first() for table in [db.table1, db.table2]: for field in table.fields: form.vars[field] = record[table][field] I'll give it a try, thanks.
