Hello everyone, I have some problems with figuring out how to use Elixir with custom classes. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
What I'm attempting to do is create a class that knows how to store itself using elixir and knows how to present itself over the web (I use web.py at the moment). For this purpose, I have tried the following: I created a custom class to use instead of Entities following the recipe. This class takes a "spec" (a list of custom field classes) and creates a web form object (intended to be a class property set at module import). The spec uses custom field classes that know about the right elixir (alchemy) field to use, the right web form field, and how to marshal between web (string) and python types. I haven't figures out how to programmatically use entities has_field from this custom base class and therefore loop over my "spec" to use has_field programatically at module load time. I had also tried to subclass elixir field types but that didn't seem to work... It seems that the extra properties of my base class disappear when I load an instance from the db via an elixir query. Is the problem that just assigning the property doesn't make it a proper class property? Can you point me to a cleaner way of "extending" elixir entities? many thanks in advance for your help and advice! -bud --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SQLElixir" group.
