Hello! I'm new to web2py and have just started running web2py 2.8.1 in ubuntu 12.04.
I am trying to customize the style of SQLFORM in web2py views. Tried to do this using SQLFORM in HTML. What I have is:- model: db.define_table( "register", Field('pi_id',db.pi), Field('name',requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY(), IS_ALPHANUMERIC()]), Field('grp_name'), Field('req_date','date', requires = IS_DATE(format=('%d-%m-%Y'))), Field('email',requires=[IS_EMAIL()])) db.register.grp_name.widget = SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete( request, db.pi.name, limitby=(0,10), min_length=1) controller: def display_your_form(): form = SQLFORM(db.register,fields=['name','grp_name','req_date','email']) if form.process(session=None,formname="test").accepted: response.flash = 'Reg saved.' redirect(URL('samples', 'default', 'index')) elif form.errors: response.flash = 'form has errors' return dict() view: {{extend 'layout.html'}} <form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <ul> <li>Your name is <input name="name" /></li> <li>Your group is <input name="grp_name" /></li> <li>Your request date is <input name="req_date" /></li> <li>Your email is <input name="email" /></li> </ul> <input type="submit" /> <input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="test" /> </form> Unfortunately, I now no longer get error messages for fields that are left empty, a date app to help insert a date, and the autocomplete doesn't work (all of these worked fine with the default view of SQLFORM). Am I missing something obvious? Would custom forms be a better way of doing this? Many thanks. -- 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.
