.load file sends parent URL to a controller in long form, including alll parts of the URL: controller_to_return_to=request.env.http_web2py_component_location
controller then does a redirect to parent how to get the abreviated form of the URL? The original var controller_to_return_to looks like this when sent through the "Sure you want to delete?" URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ES3/default/http://127.0.0.1%3A8000/ES3/default/documentation_professional_licensing_collaborative_data_model%23comments I had to resort to this: new_controller_index = max(loc for loc, val in enumerate(controller_to_return_to) if val == '/') # First find the last slash in the string extra_controller = controller_to_return_to[(new_controller_index+1):] # strip off extra URL characters. Looks hacky. form = FORM.confirm('Sure you want to delete this comment?',{'Back':URL(extra_controller)}) better way? thanks, Alex Glaros -- 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.
