Hello, I'm thinking about implementing a form for ordering parts, and before starting this work I'd like to have some advice. Here is the base functionality wanted:
- The form would include multiple similar lines made of 3 fields, to hold a "part_reference", a "part_description" and a "quantity". - A simple implementation would prepare a basic form with a fixed number of lines, say 5, and the user would fill only the lines that he would need. But it would be nicer to have an "add part/line to order" button that would add a line to the form. And also a "remove part/line from order" button for each individual part/line. - The user could be assisted in entering the "part_reference" value by an autocomplete/suggest functionality that would query my "parts" database, but it would be possible to enter a reference not in the db. When a reference entered is found in the db, the "part_description" field would be automatically populated with the associated information coming from the db. (The description could be shown during the autocompletion/suggest process, also). The description could be made editable, as this is useful in the case the part is not found in the DB. The autocomplete/suggest feature can either be a special dedicated utility e.g. above the form, or this could be integrated in each individual "part_reference" input field. - The "quantity" field could be enhanced with a clickable +/- quantity incrementer/decrementer - Once the user clicks the button "submit", the form contents would be processed by a web2py controller that would loop on each part specified in the form (ignoring lines that do not have a part number or whose quantity is 1). Only the part_reference and the quantity are used (part_description is of no use here). Is there some web2py example of such form processing with looping on multiple similar input line? Well, I'm interested if you have examples and advice (or even ready to use code!), snippets of code (jquery/javascript and web2py as well)...
