I posted in this thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/2i9zfAzG2s8 but posted after it was closed. Evidently, this is fixed but I'm still not seeing my 'formats' for foreign keys. Here are the details:
I have this in my db.py: db.define_table('customer', Field('customerId', 'id', readable=True, writable=False, label='Customer #'), Field('name', length=30, required=True, writable=False, requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()), Field('city', length=30, writable=False), Field('state', length=2, writable=False), format='%(customerId)s - %(name)s - %(city)s, %(state)s') db.define_table('equip_order', Field('id', 'id', readable=False, label='Order #'), Field('order_type', 'reference orderType', label='Order Type', ondelete='RESTRICT', requires = IS_IN_DB(db(db.orderType.equipment==True), 'orderType.id', '%(name)s', zero='..')), Field('status', length=10, default='New', requires=IS_IN_SET(('New', 'Submitted', 'Invoiced'))), Field('customer', 'reference customer', label='Customer', ondelete='RESTRICT')) When I display (VIEW MODE) the customer field in the equip_order table in a custom SQLFORM.grid form using: {{=form.custom.widget.customer}} ...it displays the id of the customer, not the name. I thought the 'format' on the customer table definition would control this. I know I can fix it by changing the definition of the customer field in the equip_order table to: Field('customer', 'reference customer', label='Customer', ondelete='RESTRICT', represent=lambda x, r: '%s - %s - %s, %s' % (db.customer(x).customerId db.customer(x).name, db.customer(x).city, db.customer(x).state) if x else ''), Should I have to do that, or should the 'format' on customer take care of it? -Jim -- 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.
