Re: [web2py] Temporary changing default values of a Form

I found the answer searching through the group posts: form.element(_name='email')['_readonly']=True although this doesn't seem to be documented in the manual, and even looking through the gluon directory (and grepping for _readonly ) didn't reveal anything. Would this have been obvio

Re: [web2py] Temporary changing default values of a Form

One more question: How do I make the pre-populated elements of the form appear read-only (so that they cannot be altered)? I've tried in the view: {{=form.custom.begin}} First name: {{=predef.fname}} Last name: {{=predef.lname}} Email: {{=predef.email}} Password: {{=for

Hi, I have a default value for a field defined on the table definition, along with its validators. I want to create a form with a different initial value for some fields, based on the link the user clicked. Something like "add new item for this category" and the new item form come with that categ
