I am using smartgrid for the membership database I am building. I have 3 tables, contact (the members contact details and name), courses (any courses the member is doing with us) and membership (the users membership details).
I am using conditionals to present customised view of the generated forms tables and records, basically a little dashboard that will sit above the contact/member/course details giving an overview of that contact. However I am struggling to extract the row id for the contact in order to pull up data for my dashboard. The following is the URL I get when viewing a contact with the id 11: 27.0.01:8000/MYDB/default/contact_manage/t_contact/t_membership.f_contact_id/11/view/t_membership/11 On this particular url I can get the id using: request.args(2) However the postion of the id is not the same on every page for example when I view another contact (12) I get this URL: http://127.0.01:8000/ILSPA_DB2/default/contact_manage/t_contact/view/t_contact/12 The argument with the position 2 is t_contact not 12. Is there some voodoo I can use to get the id of the entry in order to use it to pull up data from other tables? FYI I have included a snippet from the controller and corresponding view. Controller code: @auth.requires_login() def contact_manage(): memberId = request.args(2) form = SQLFORM.smartgrid(db.t_contact,linked_tables=['t_courses', 't_membership','t_paypal'], onupdate=auth.archive, formname="Contact Manager") return locals() View Code: {{extend 'layout.html'}} {{if 'view' in request.args:}} <p>Do something with {{=memberId}}</p> <h2>Manage Contact</h2><p>{{=form}}</p> {{else:}} <h2>Manage Contact</h2><p>{{=form}}</p> {{pass}} Thanks in advance.
